We propose the synergistic effects of antibacterial plants to address issues such as MASKNE (mask-related acne), which has become a global problem.
The term "p. acne" has been changed to "Cutibacterium acnes" (c. acne), and with the increasing resistance of c. acne, there is a call for new natural treatments. Acne is strongly associated with oily skin and is a major inflammatory skin disease of the sebaceous glands. It develops into acne that initially appears as inflamed red papules. This is one of the most common skin disorders, affecting up to 85% of youth and young adults worldwide. A survey conducted among acne patients in China revealed that over 30% reported negative impacts of acne, such as emotional stress, anxiety, depression, and decreased social well-being. Additionally, in recent years, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced people to wear masks all day, leading to the issue known as MASKNE.
Nature offers many solutions for oily skin and skin prone to acne, and SEQENS proposes the synergistic effects of antibacterial plants.
