A closer look

What the research shows

Human oral and topical research

Acne lesion counts improved in both the topical cream group and the cream-plus-oral-supplement group after 12 weeks; some outcomes favored added supplement.

No extract-only or vehicle arm. Both groups received the same multiingredient cream, so reductions cannot be attributed to iris root extract alone.
