Acne Vulgaris (AV) is a disease of the pilosebaceous unit that
causes noninflammatory lesions (open and closed comedones), inflammatory lesions
(papules, pustules, and nodules), and varying degrees of scarring.
Acne
is an extremely common condition and has a prevalence of 85% and occurs mostly during adolescence. Acne can
persist into adulthood with a prevalence rate of 50.9% in women ages 20 to 29
years versus 26.3% in women ages 40 to 49 years. Female patients account
for two thirds of visits made to dermatologists for acne, and one third of all
dermatology office visits for acne are by women who are older than 25 years.
Acne leads to significant morbidity that is
associated with residual scarring and psychological disturbances such as poor
self-image, depression, and anxiety, which leads to a negative impact on quality
of life. In one epidemiologic study, 8.8% of patients with acne reported
depression with women suffering from depression twice as often as men (10.6% vs.
5.3%), but this was unrelated to acne severity.
Below are natural supplements which may lessen
the effects of Acne.

Fish Oil Fish Oil is a product of
Peru and Morocco. Topical Vitamin A is the recommended product for
Acne, however, fish oil has been found to relieve Acne also.
Study on Fish Oil for Acne
Background: Given that acne is a rare
condition in societies with higher consumption of omega-3 (n-3) relative to
omega-6 (n-6) fatty acids, supplementation with n-3 may suppress
inflammatory cytokine production and thereby reduce acne severity.
Methods: 13 individuals with
inflammatory acne were given three grams of fish oil containing 930 mg of
EPA to their unchanged diet and existing acne remedies for 12 weeks.
Acne was assessed using an overall severity grading scale, total
inflammatory lesion counts , and colorimetry.
Findings: There was no significant
change in acne grading and inflammatory counts at week 12 compared to
baseline. However, there was a broad range of response to the
intervention on an individual basis. The results showed that acne
severity improved in 8 individuals, worsened in 4, and remained unchanged in
1. Interestingly, among the individuals who showed improvement, 7 were
classified as having moderate to severe acne at baseline, while 3 of the 4
whose acne deteriorated were classified as having mild acne.
Conclusion: There is some evidence
that fish oil supplementation is associated with an improvement in overall
acne severity, especially for individuals with moderate to severe acne.
Divergent responses to fish oil in our pilot study indicates that dietary
and supplemental lipids are worthy of further investigation in acne.
