A multicentric, prospective, observational study evaluating the use patterns of Sebium night peel for acne-prone skin and associated conditions

Background

Acne is a common skin disorder that affects both adolescents and adults and is categorized as an inflammatory dermatosis. Persistent adult acne is prevalent in more than 80% of cases. Chemical peels are widely used in acne therapy due to their various benefits, including exfoliation, acne lesion reduction, complexion radiance improvement, and scar repair. The procedure, consisting of 2 to 8 sessions, is ideal for adult women with oily skin, acne breakouts, and concerns about photoaging and complexion radiance.

Methods

A cohort of Indian dermatologists were provided a questionnaire related to the quantum of weekly acne patients seen and their clinical expertise regarding the use of Sebium Night Peel containing 15% glycolic acid, the Fluidactiv™ patented complex & D-panthenol. These results were later analyzed using a standardised visual analogue scale.

Results

The study enrolled 826 patients, and complete responses were received from 73 dermatologists practicing clinical and aesthetic dermatology across major cities in India. The study revealed that 97% of dermatologists would recommend the Sebium Night Peel as a chemical peel for patients with acne and acne-related complications. The majority of dermatologists rated the peel's tolerability and safety as "good" across various evaluation criteria. Additionally, 97% of dermatologists reported no safety concerns associated with the Sebium Night Peel.

Conclusions

This study establishes the Sebium Night Peel as a preferred and effective chemical peel for managing acne-prone skin and associated conditions, as endorsed by dermatologists across India.
