Studying face mites and herbal remedies for acne
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at whether tiny mites (called Demodex) are more common in people with acne, and whether a natural plant extract can kill these mites in the lab. If you have acne, participating could help doctors understand and treat it better.
