Abstract:
Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory condition with multifactorial pathogenesis. Despite the availability of numerous treatment options, there remains a need for safe, well-tolerated, and microbiome-preserving therapies. This narrative review explores recent advances in non-pharmacological acne treatments, focusing on various microbiome modulation strategies. It highlights emerging therapeutic modalities and their potential impact on clinical practice. Key findings from recent studies are summarized, providing insights for future research and practical applications in dermatology.
