TL;DR: The Global Alliance to Improve Outcomes in Acne as mentioned in this paper has developed consensus recommendations for the treatment of acne, which are evidence-based when possible, and which include input from numerous countries The members of the group represent a broad list of international dermatologists with a special interest in acne and reflect a wide range of experiences and opinions.

TL;DR: Data suggest that P. acnes triggers inflammatory cytokine responses in acne by activation of TLR2, which may provide a novel target for treatment of this common skin disease.

TL;DR: Results indicate that facial scarring affects both sexes equally and occurs to some degree in 95% of cases, and emphasizes the need for earlier adequate therapy in an attempt to minimize the subsequent scarring caused by acne.

TL;DR: Novel evidence is provided for vascular endothelial cell activation and involvement of inflammatory responses in the very earliest stages of acne lesion development.

TL;DR: This work concludes that acne vulgaris lesions develop when (supposedly largely androgen-mediated) increased sebum production, ductal hypercornification, and propionibacteria come together with local inflammatory process in the unlucky affected individual.
