Summary
Dermocosmetics can help manage acne vulgaris, especially in Asian populations with sensitive skin. These over-the-counter products improve tolerability and efficacy when used alone or with medical treatments.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Cosmeceuticals
Background:
- Acne vulgaris is globally prevalent, affecting faces and trunks, with increasing adult female cases.
- Truncal acne is under-diagnosed and under-treated.
- Acne in Asian individuals often coexists with sensitive skin, complicating treatment tolerance.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the benefits of dermocosmetics in acne management.
- To provide recommendations for integrating dermocosmetics into clinical practice.
Main Methods:
- Consensus review by dermatologists from eight countries (seven Asian).
- Analysis of reported benefits of dermocosmetics for acne.
- Development of practical recommendations for healthcare providers.
Main Results:
- Dermocosmetics offer benefits for acne vulgaris, particularly in sensitive skin types common in Asia.
- These products can be used as monotherapy for mild acne or as adjuncts to medical treatments.
- Dermocosmetics enhance treatment tolerability and efficacy.
Conclusions:
- Dermocosmetics are valuable tools in managing acne vulgaris across diverse populations.
- Integrating dermocosmetics into routine dermatological care can improve patient outcomes.
- Recommendations are provided for healthcare providers to optimize the use of dermocosmetics.

01:21Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sebaceous Glands
4.8K
A sebaceous gland is a type of oil gland found almost all over the skin ( except palms and soles) and helps lubricate and waterproof the skin and hair. Most sebaceous glands are associated with hair follicles. They generate and excrete sebum, a mixture of lipids, onto the skin surface, thereby naturally lubricating the dry and dead layer of keratinized cells of the stratum corneum, keeping it pliable.
These glands that produce the oils on the skin and hair are holocrine glands. The mature...

01:19Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells
3.3K
Epidermal stem cells (EpiSCs) are mainly located at the basal layer of the epidermis. These cells repair minor injuries of the skin and replace dead skin cells. However, EpiSCs’ cannot heal severe wounds such as major burns or those from diabetes or hereditary disorders. In such cases, culturing the epidermal stem cells from the patient is possible and has yielded successful treatment options, such as laboratory-grown skin grafts. These grafts are synthesized using a patient’s own...

01:15Reticular Dermis
5.2K
The papillary and reticular dermis are the two layers of the dermis. They are made of connective tissue with fibers of collagen extending from one to the other, making the border between the two somewhat indistinct. The dermal papillae extending into the epidermis belong to the papillary layer, whereas the dense collagen fiber bundles below belong to the reticular layer.
Reticular Layer
Underlying the papillary layer is the much thicker reticular layer, composed of dense, irregular connective...

The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
Albinism
Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...

01:30Skin Cancer
6.3K
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

01:12Renewal of Skin Epidermal Stem Cells
3.1K
The skin is divided into epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, the skin's outermost, middle, and inner layers. The human epidermal layer regularly undergoes renewal, where old, dead cells are replaced by new cells. Epidermal stem cells or EpiSCs divide and differentiate to restore the lost cells. For the renewal process, some EpiSCs continuously self-renew. In contrast, few others differentiate into transit-amplifying cells, which later form prickle or spinous cells, followed by granular...
