RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Acne vulgaris is a common dermatological condition that greatly impacts patients' self-confidence. Ongoing research is conducted to explore new treatment modalities. Silymarin owns special characteristics that qualify it as a possible treatment for acne vulgaris. OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the efficacy and safety of silymarin cream as a new therapeutic option against salicylic acid peels in the treatment of mild to moderate acne vulgaris. METHODS: A split-face, comparative, Quasi-experimental clinical trial included 30 patients with acne vulgaris. Salicylic acid 30% peels were applied as an office procedure to one half of the face every 2 weeks for 3 months. Topical silymarin 1.4% cream was prescribed as a home treatment, twice daily, to the other half of the face for 3 months. The results were evaluated using the Global Acne Grading System (GAGS), photographic evaluation, and patient self-assessment scale. The adverse effects during treatment were recorded. The sample size was calculated by Stata/IC 16.1. RESULTS: After treatment, a significant reduction of GAGS was noted on both sides of the face, with an insignificant difference between both treatments. The comparative photographic evaluation and patient self-assessment scale were also insignificant. Hyperpigmentation was recorded in 2 cases on the salicylic acid-treated side. No side effects for silymarin cream were observed. CONCLUSION: Topical silymarin cream 1.4% showed comparable results to Salicylic acid 30% peels. It can be considered a promising safe treatment modality for mild to moderate acne vulgaris.
