Nevertheless, the biological activity of Mangifera indica leaves has scarcely been investigated, and additional data are needed, especially in a clinical setting, for establishing the actual effectiveness of Mangifera indica extract as an active component of anti-acne therapy. (2) Methods: The evaluation of the biological activity of Mangifera indica extract was carried out through different experimental phases, which comprised in silico, in vitro, ex vivo and clinical evaluations. (3) Results: In silico and in vitro studies allowed us to identify the phytomarkers carrying the activity of seboregulation and acne management. Results showed that Mangifera indica extract reduced lipid production by 40% in sebocytes, and an improvement of the sebum quality was reported after the treatment in analyses performed on sebaceous glands from skin explants. The evaluation of the sebum quantity and quality using triglyceride\/free fatty acid analysis conducted on Caucasian volunteers evidenced a strong improvement and a reduction of porphyrins expression. The C. acnes lipase activity from a severe acne phylotype was evaluated in the presence of Mangifera indica, and a reduction by 29% was reported. In addition, the analysis of the skin microbiota documented that Mangifera indica protected the microbiota equilibrium while the placebo induced dysbiosis. (4) Conclusions: Our results showed that Mangifera indica is microbiota friendly and efficient against lipase activity of C. acnes and supports a role for Mangifera indica in the therapeutic strategy for prevention and treatment of acne.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules27154769","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,27]],"date-time":"2022-07-27T04:59:16Z","timestamp":1658897956000},"page":"4769","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Action of Mangifera indica Leaf Extract on Acne-Prone Skin through Sebum Harmonization and Targeting C. acnes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"27","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8283-7864","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Morgane De","family":"Tollenaere","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Givaudan Active Beauty, R&D, 51110 Pomacle, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2870-198X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Clo\u00e9","family":"Boira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Givaudan Active Beauty, R&D, 51110 Pomacle, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emilie","family":"Chapuis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Givaudan Active Beauty, R&D, 51110 Pomacle, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Lapierre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Givaudan Active Beauty, R&D, 51110 Pomacle, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9968-4227","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cyrille","family":"Jarrin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Givaudan Active Beauty, R&D, 31400 Toulouse, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Patrick","family":"Robe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Givaudan Active Beauty, R&D, 31400 Toulouse, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Catherine","family":"Zanchetta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Givaudan Active Beauty, R&D, 31400 Toulouse, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Vilanova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Genomic Tales, Consulting, AD200 Encamp, Andorra"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"B\u00e9n\u00e9dicte","family":"Sennelier-Portet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Givaudan Active Beauty, R&D, 84911 Avignon, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jessy","family":"Martinez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Givaudan Active Beauty, R&D, 84911 Avignon, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6403-1664","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amandine","family":"Scandolera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Givaudan Active Beauty, R&D, 51110 Pomacle, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel","family":"Auriol","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Givaudan Active Beauty, R&D, 31400 Toulouse, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5417-5357","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Romain","family":"Reynaud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Givaudan Active Beauty, R&D, 31400 Toulouse, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3","DOI":"10.1111\/bjd.13462","article-title":"global perspective on the epidemiology of acne","volume":"172","author":"Tan","year":"2015","journal-title":"Br.
