Description
Diogo Pazzini Bomfim and five co-authors study inflammation signals in adult women's acne and how a common gel changes them. Acne past age 25 is common in women, and inflammation drives it, yet its immune details are less mapped than teenage acne. Their 2026 study centers on two signals, IL-6 and IL-8.
Twenty women with mild to moderate acne used azelaic acid gel twice a day for six months. Skin samples from spots and from healthy skin were taken before and after. Both signals ran high in acne skin and fell sharply after treatment. Swelling under the microscope eased as well. The results back the gel as a treatment that calms the immune side of acne.
