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.

The gut microbiome is gaining recognition for its vital link to skin health, particularly in the development and management of chronic dermatological conditions such as eczema. Join functional dermatology expert, Dr. Julie Greenberg and Kara Siedman, RD, CDCES, to explore the latest research on the connection between the gut microbiome and skin health. In this webinar, you’ll learn about the role Akkermansia muciniphila plays in the gut-skin axis and review case studies showing how addressing gut health can lead to effective treatments for eczema.
