While acne has long been viewed as a condition of the pilosebaceousunit, accumulating evidence indicates that it may also be a result of systemic factors driving inflammation. These drivers include stress, hormones, diet and metabolism, skin and gut microbiome, oxidative stress, and immune function. Considering these targets on a systems-wide level could provide new approaches in managing acne. This master class discusses the evidence supporting the role of the six factors in the development of acne. It also presents clinical results from the use of a novel nutraceutical which addresses these root causes in subjects with non-cystic acne.

This master class will delve into the intricacies of DUTCH (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) testing, providing a deep dive into how to interpret the DUTCH test and the certain markers that are indicative in the pathogenesis of acne. Participants will gain a thorough understanding of how this testing method can inform treatment strategies for improved patient outcomes. Following the lecture, LearnSkin certificate program chairs will share information on our Integrative Dermatology Certificate Program (IDCP) and tips for advancing your integrative dermatology practice. If you have been thinking about next steps in your educational journey, join us for a fun evening of expert discussion and Q&A!

This lecture will review the role of supplementation and topical therapy in rosacea and acne. The pathophysiological and immunological mechanisms will be reviewed in the context of taking an integrative approach to treatment so that treatment is paired with an understanding of the root cause of disease. The role of the gut and skin microbiome will be reviewed. A practical approach to treatment will be discussed including case based discussions.

This session will review the various causes of acne, describe the different subtypes of acne and discuss different conventional and integrative treatment approaches to treating acne with dermatologist Dr. Nicole Rocca.

This session will review the emerging treatment approaches to rosacea with a special focus on the use of encapsulated BPO. In particular, this lecture will highlight the differences between the use of encapsulated and non-encapsulated BPO.


This session serves as a practical basic science review to discuss the historical use and the limitations of non-encapsulated BPO in comparison to encapsulated BPO. The clinical evidence for the use of encapsulated BPO in both acne and rosacea will be discussed.

This non-CME webinar will review the emerging topicals for acne and rosacea. Several cases will be discussed.

Acne is a chronic inflammatory condition that widely affects both teenagers and young adults.

Acne is one of the most prevalent skin conditions that affects both adolescents and adults. This webinar will review the evidence for novel medications and emerging probiotics. As there are many variations in acne, personalization is an important aspect of acne treatment. We will discuss personalization in the context of common skin types, the subtypes of acne, and how this affects the choice of treatment regimens.
