A new study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology unveiled the potential benefits of omega-3 fatty acids (ω-3 FA), specifically eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), in combating acne severity through their anti-inflammatory properties. Omega-3 fatty acids reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines, eicosanoids, and insulin-like growth factor-1 which makes them a potential therapeutic option for individuals with acne, particularly in individuals with these deficiencies. Thus, Anne Guertler and team undertook this study to increase EPA and DHA levels in acne patients through dietary interventions and supplementation to observe their clinical effects.
