Data suggest there are underlying immuno\u2010inflammatory drivers contributing to acne, with evidence for the efficacy of nutraceuticals including botanicals in targeting the key root causes. However, well\u2010designed clinical studies on their efficacy and safety remain scarce.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aims<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The goal of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of a novel oral nutraceutical in women with mild to moderate non\u2010nodulocystic acne.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This 12\u2010week randomized, double\u2010blind, placebo\u2010controlled trial evaluated the safety and efficacy of a nutraceutical addressing mild\u2010to\u2010moderate acne in adult women. Subjects were washed out of all acne products and provided with a standardized skin regimen and randomized into active or placebo groups. The primary endpoint was the change in Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) of acne severity at week 12. Additional endpoints included improvements in inflammatory and non\u2010inflammatory lesion counts and blinded investigator skin assessments.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 102 women were enrolled in the study, with 92 subjects completing the study (47 active; 45 placebo). Compared to placebo, subjects taking the supplement along with the same standardized skin care regimen saw significant improvements in IGA scores, and a higher percentage of them achieved clear\/almost clear ratings. There were also significant decreases in both inflammatory and non\u2010inflammatory lesions compared to baseline, and overall skin parameters significantly improved compared to placebo.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The oral nutraceutical significantly improves mild\u2010to\u2010moderate acne and overall skin health in adult women when compared to a placebo.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Trial Registration<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" xlink:href=\"http:\/\/clinicaltrials.gov\">Clinicaltrials.gov<\/jats:ext-link>\n                      identifier: NCT06097871\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jocd.70220","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,5]],"date-time":"2025-05-05T04:25:30Z","timestamp":1746419130000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A 12\u2010Week Randomized, Double\u2010Blind, Placebo\u2010Controlled Trial for the Efficacy and Safety of a Novel Nutraceutical for Mild\u2010to\u2010Moderate Acne"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9803-7415","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zoe","family":"Draelos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Dermatology Consulting Services, PLLC  High Point North Carolina USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Julie","family":"Harper","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Dermatology and Skin Care Center of Birmingham  Birmingham Alabama USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4349-0129","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Patricia K.","family":"Farris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tulane University School of Medicine  New Orleans Louisiana USA"},{"name":"Nutraceutical Wellness Inc  New York New York USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-5051-3697","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adina","family":"Hazan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nutraceutical Wellness Inc  New York New York USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Isabelle","family":"Raymond","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nutraceutical Wellness Inc  New York New York USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2021.17633"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.36849\/JDD.8138"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2023.12.017"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7759\/cureus.57200"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jand.2013.11.010"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.36849\/JDD.8137"},{"issue":"5","key":"e_1_2_11_8_1","first-page":"403","article-title":"Biological Activities of \n                     Ocimum sanctum\n                   L.
