This study`s aim is to look at the effects of spirulina extract as a remedy for acne in a clinical test and suggests the possibility of using spirulina as a natural aminolevulinic acid. For this purpose, the subjects of the study were divided into two different groups: the test group with which PDT(Photo Dynamic Therapy) and spirulina extract were used and the control group. As a result of the clinical test, it was discovered that the moisture content in the foreheads, cheeks, and chins of the subjects in the control group increased between 25.99% and 29.49% while that of the test group increased between 27.83% and 29.51%. Oil content of subjects in the control group decreased between 14.96% and 29.03% while that in the test group decreased between 24.13% and 33.17%. The pH on subjects` skin surface decreased between 1.59% and 4.53% in the control group while that of the test group decreased between 5.41%and 8.54%. Melanin content in the control group decreased between 1.47% and 3.87% while that in the test group decreased between1.68% and 5.48%. Red spots in the control group decreased between 3.39% and 5.34% while that in the test group decreased between5.93% and 10.91%. For the test group, where 5% spirulina was used, the moisture content on the face increased while the oil, pH, redspots, and melanin decreased. In a subjective observation, it was shown that the test group had a higher remedy effect on acne. Therefore, PDT using spirulina extract as a natural aminolevulinic acid had a greater effect as a remedy for acne. Based on the results above, this study suggests that skin care using spirulina extract as a natural aminolevulinic acid and PDT is more effective for fighting acne. |
