Case report: The participant of this study is a 20-year-old female, struggling with acne vulgaris for 5 years. She has a problem with large sebum secretion and numerous eruptions on her skin. Before and 30 days after a series of treatments the sebum secretion was measured with Derma Unit SCC 3Courage + Khazaka electronic GmbH, which characterizes the hydrolipidic film of the skin. The severity of acne vulgaris was measured using the GAGS scale.Conclusions: There was a significant improvement in skin condition after a series of treatments. Hydrogen purification combined with phytic, pyruvic, lactic and ferulic acids 40% (pH 1.4) was found to be safe and effective.
