Summary

This completed trial tested whether adding vitamin D supplements to standard acne treatment (azithromycin and a topical retinoid) improves acne more than standard treatment alone. Fifty-eight people aged 13 to 40 with acne vulgaris took part. The main goal was to see if the combination led to better skin improvement after two months.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward adding vitamin D to standard acne treatment for better results.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 58 participants. The results may not apply to everyone, and vitamin D may not provide extra benefit beyond standard care.
