Saurat et al., Dermatology, 231:105-111, 2015
Summary: This study suggests that only a small percentage of sebaceous glands have lesions in acne patients, even in severe cases. It also highlights the short lifetime of acne lesions, emphasizing the need to prevent more sebaceous glands from entering the acne cycle.

Chen et al., J Dermatol Sci, 29(2):97-103, 2002
Summary: This research links NF-κB activation to IL-8 production in cells stimulated by Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes), which is a key factor in acne-related inflammation.
-
Nishijima et al., J Dermatol, 5:318-323, 2000
Summary: This study explores the skin microbiome in acne patients, finding that affected skin has higher levels of Staphylococcus and Candida in addition to P. acnes. It also suggests that a broad antibacterial and antifungal treatment is beneficial for acne.

Davis et al., J Clin Aesthet Dermatol, 3(7): 20–31, 2010
Summary: This paper discusses post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and the role of inflammation in stimulating melanocyte activity, leading to pigmentation issues.
-
Yang et al., Food Chemistry, 160:338-345, 2014
Summary: The study compares Synovea® HR to resveratrol and curcumin in terms of NF-κB inhibition. Synovea® HR is found to be 8-16 times more effective in reducing NF-κB activity, which plays a role in inflammation.

Ottaviani et al., Mediators of Inflammation, Article ID 858176, 2010
Summary: The study highlights a decrease in linoleic acid in the skin surface lipids of acne patients, contributing to the pathological changes in the skin that promote acne formation.
-
Ando et al., Arch Dermatol Res, 290:375-381, 1998; Biochem J, 394:43-50, 2006
Summary: These studies show that linoleic acid and its derivatives can lighten UV-induced pigmentation by accelerating the degradation of tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin production.
-
Hungund et al., Alcohol Clin Exp Res, 19(2):374-377, 1995
Summary: This research demonstrates that ethyl linoleate is converted to linoleic acid in vivo, aiding in skin nourishment and improving the skin barrier function.
-
Letawe et al., Clin Exp Dermatol, 23(2):56-58, 1998
Summary: This study identifies a reduction in linoleic acid in the skin surface lipids of acne patients, which disrupts normal keratinization and skin barrier function.
-
Schultz et al., Cell, 71(5):765-776, 1992
Summary: The study discusses the role of ceramides in triggering NF-κB generation, which can lead to inflammation and exacerbate acne conditions.
-
Charakida et al., Brit J Dermatol, 157(3):569-574, 2007
Summary: A clinical trial demonstrating that a lotion containing ethyl linoleate significantly reduced acne severity and sebum production over a 12-week treatment period, with minimal side effects.
-
Makrantonaski et al., Dermatoendocrinol, 3(1): 41–49, 2011
Summary: This paper emphasizes the role of linoleic acid in regulating sebocyte function and sebum production, highlighting its importance in acne treatment.
-
Zhao et al., Biochem Biophys Res Commun, 336(3):909-917, 2005
Summary: The study explores the anti-inflammatory effects of linoleic acid, showing that it inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL-6 and TNF-α through the NF-κB pathway.
