Summary

This study tests a ginger extract patch for mild to moderate acne in 26 women aged 15–45. Each participant applies the patch to one side of the face after using a standard tretinoin cream, while the other side gets only the cream. Researchers count acne lesions and check skin bacteria and inflammation before and after 21 days of treatment.

What this could mean

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

ginger (Zingiber officinale) extract patch
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a natural, topical option to reduce acne lesions with fewer side effects than standard treatments.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study with only 26 participants. The effect may be modest or not better than existing treatments, and results may not apply to everyone.
