Skin Surface pH in Acne Vulgaris: Insights from an Observational Study and Review of the Literature.

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: Increased facial skin pH in patients with acne at basal conditions mirrors a chronic state of stratum corneum instability, which could be predisposing individuals to acne occurrence and/or recurrences. It could possibly be a common domain via which the classical pathomechanisms might be acting in acne. Integrating measures that maintain stratum corneum pH during therapy might prove worthwhile.
