Summary

This study tests a 4-week skincare routine made with coconut oil to see if it safely and effectively manages mild to moderate acne in people with sensitive skin. Participants will use a cleanser, toner, serum, and day cream, with skin assessments at the start and end of the trial. The study also tracks any side effects and participant satisfaction.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: A skincare regimen (cleanser, toner, serum, and day cream) containing coconut oil (Cocos Nucifera)
What this could lead to: If effective, this regimen could offer a gentle, natural option for managing acne in people with sensitive skin, potentially reducing reliance on harsher treatments.
What could go wrong: The trial is small (34 participants) and short (4 weeks), so results may not apply broadly. Coconut oil can be comedogenic for some, and individual responses may vary.
