Acne is a very common problem faced by our society today, it starts showing during our early years and it lasts all the way into adulthood, this means that this skin problem is not exclusively seen in teenagers but in adults as well. There are many factors attributed to be the causes of acne however they haven't been 100% proven, the factor that provides the right conditions for acne flair ups to occur is a change in hormonal activity. During puberty it is very common for hormones to go wild and cause all sorts of changes in our body, including the undesirable acne. In adults the same principle holds true but this problem is mostly seen in women who are going through their period, those who use a certain brand of cosmetics or those taking birth control pills.
20 patients suffering from mild to moderated acne were studied in that research. There are 17 males and 13 female in the studied group. Alpha-hydroxy acid peel (30% concentration of glycolic acid) was applied on one half of the face, while Beta-hydroxy acid peel (30% concentration of salicylic acid) was applied on the other half of the face of each patient. The treatments are done every two weeks for duration of three months. A non-bias evaluator was used to examine the effectiveness of each acid peels on the reduction of acne. Both the evaluator and the patients did not know which sides of the faces were applied with Alpha-hydroxy acid or Beta-hydroxy acid.
