Safety and Preliminary Clinical Effects of a Herbal Balance Solution in Mild‐To‐Moderate Acne Vulgaris: An Open‐Label, Single‐Arm Pilot Study
In this open-label pilot study, use of Herbal Balance Solution was associated with short-term improvements in acne-related clinical parameters and skin barrier function and was well tolerated in patients with mild-to-moderate acne vulgaris. These preliminary findings warrant confirmation in randomized, vehicle-controlled clinical trials.
