A Silymarin Antioxidant Serum Improves Facial Acne Alone and as Part of a Treatment Regimen
CONCLUSION: Silymarin is shown in clinical testing to have significant benefits in reducing lipid peroxidation, oiliness, and PIH, and in improving key markers of skin aging. Additionally, the serum can be used alone or as an adjunctive treatment in acne therapy to further benefit aging, acne-prone skin.

Dermatologists' Perspectives on Biosimilars
Conclusion: Biosimilars are safe and effective for treating approved dermatological conditions and may lower patient costs compared to their reference products. Patients are not always offered biosimilar therapy as an option, which may be due to unfamiliarity among dermatologists.  This survey suggests a need for more research and educational initiatives, such as modules and workshops that focus on biosimilar safety, efficacy, and interchangeability guidelines. J Drugs Dermatol. 2024;23(4):doi:10.36849/JDD.7755.PMID:38564397 | DOI:10.36849/JDD.7755 (Source: Journal of Drugs in Dermatology)
