Hydrogen purification treatment is a new procedure used in cosmetology to improve the skin parameters of the face. This study examined the effectiveness of hydrogen purification treatment to improve women\u2019s skin conditions with regard to acne vulgaris. Methods: In this study, 30 women participated who suffered from a high level of sebum and acne. The control group was comprised of 30 healthy women with a low level of sebum. The Hellgren\u2013Vincent Scale and Derma Unit SSC 3 device were used to assess acne vulgaris severity and skin properties, respectively. Four hydrogen purification sessions were carried out at 7-day intervals, using the Hebe Hydrogenium+ generating alkaline water. Results: At baseline and 7 and 14 days after finishing the series of treatments, the levels of oiliness, moisture, and skin pH were tested. The main effects of treatment were significant in the following parameters: pH around the bottom lip, moisture between the eyebrows and around the nose, and oily skin in all three face sites. Conclusions: The level of sebum decreased and moisture levels increased during hydrogen purification. Topical hydrogen purification is an effective and safe treatment for acne vulgaris.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sec\"><strong class=\"kwd-title\">Keywords: <\/strong><span class=\"kwd-text\">hydrogen purification, acne vulgaris, alkaline water<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"sec1-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\"tsec sec\">\n<div class=\"goto jig-ncbiinpagenav-goto-container\"><a class=\"tgt_dark page-toc-label jig-ncbiinpagenav-goto-heading\" href=\"#\" title=\"Go to other sections in this page\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">Go to:<\/a><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"head no_bottom_margin ui-helper-clearfix\" id=\"sec1-healthcare-09-00144title\">1. Introduction<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p p-first\">The global prevalence of acne is 9.38% but varies widely due to the severity grading system, country, gender, and age, with rates being highest among adolescents in puberty (ranging from 35% to nearly 100%) [<a href=\"#B1-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B1-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">1<\/a>].

A recent study showed that acne\u2019s family history is a risk factor, but the severity of acne vulgaris (AV) is independent of premenstrual flares, diet, and body mass index (BMI) [<a href=\"#B3-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B3-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">3<\/a>]. Problems with skin eruptions can negatively affect quality of life and lead to heightened stress, depression, or even suicidal ideations [<a href=\"#B4-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B4-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">4<\/a>,<a href=\"#B5-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B5-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">5<\/a>]. The effects of severe forms of acne are seen in deep acne scars, which can also decrease self-esteem and quality of life [<a href=\"#B4-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B4-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">4<\/a>,<a href=\"#B5-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B5-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">5<\/a>,<a href=\"#B6-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B6-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">6<\/a>,<a href=\"#B7-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B7-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">7<\/a>,<a href=\"#B8-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B8-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">8<\/a>,<a href=\"#B9-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B9-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">9<\/a>]. Thus, an interdisciplinary approach to treatment should be prioritized.<\/p>\n<p>Among factors determining acne, the abnormal keratinization of the pilosebaceous canal, bacterial colonization (i.e., <em>Cutibacterium acne, Staphylococcus ureus,<\/em> and <em>Staphylococcus epidermidis<\/em>), increased production of sebum, skin inflammatory, genotypic factors, and hormonal disorders can be distinguished. Treatment is often long and tedious, affecting the patients\u2019 sense of hopelessness and social isolation. In recent years, considerable attention has been paid to drug use as the best treatment for acne. Psychological support is currently also recommended to improve acne [<a href=\"#B10-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B10-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">10<\/a>,<a href=\"#B11-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B11-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">11<\/a>,<a href=\"#B12-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B12-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">12<\/a>,<a href=\"#B13-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B13-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">13<\/a>,<a href=\"#B14-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B14-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">14<\/a>]. However, new cosmetology acne treatments, such as acid peels, microdermabrasion, cavitation peeling, sonophoresis, and hydrogen purification treatment, are continually being sought.<\/p>\n<p>Hydrogen has been known in the world of science for decades. It is the simplest molecule in nature, created by two hydrogen atoms. Ohsawa et al. [<a href=\"#B15-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B15-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">15<\/a>] showed that molecular hydrogen could selectively reduce reactive oxygen forms in vitro and exert antioxidant activity. Thanks to this discovery, hydrogen gas has been used in 300 diseases and have come to the forefront of therapeutic medical gas research. Clinical research has shown that hydrogen is an essential physiological regulator factor with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects on cells and organs [<a href=\"#B15-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B15-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">15<\/a>,<a href=\"#B16-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B16-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">16<\/a>,<a href=\"#B17-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B17-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">17<\/a>,<a href=\"#B18-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B18-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">18<\/a>,<a href=\"#B19-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B19-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">19<\/a>].<\/p>\n<p>Hydrogen purification treatment uses alkaline water (electrochemically reduced water, ERP), which is rare in nature. However, with the chemical process of electrolysis, ERP can be produced immediately with a pH range between 8\u201310. It has both high alkaline and negative oxidation-reduction potential (ORP). The electrolysis process consists of passing a direct current between two electrodes (anode and cathode) separated by a semi-permeable membrane. During this process, the elements contained in the water break down into hydrogen ions H+, focusing on the cathode, and hydroxy ions OH-, which focus on the anode. Ionized alkaline water consists of H+ ions; it also contains alkaline elements, such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, hydrogen, and alkaline hydroxyl ions. Negative OH-ions form acid water, containing chlorine, sulfur, phosphorus, positive acid ions, and oxygen.<\/p>\n<p>The main factor responsible for the ORP of alkaline water is the active molecular hydrogen in alkaline water. Its concentration, depending on the concentration of alkaline water, ranges from 0.3 to 0.6 mg\/L. Only the electrolysis processes (water ionizers) and hydrogenation (hydrogen generators) allow water production with active hydrogen ions, which is a natural and potent antioxidant. Currently, hydrogen cleansing is commonly used in cosmeceutical treatments to reduce free radicals and achieve anti-aging properties. Reactive oxygen species bind to hydrogen ions, forming water and pure oxygen. Through chemical processes, hydrogen purification neutralizes free radicals, and hydrogen water significantly reduces lubrication on the skin\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p p-last\">In recent years, research has been conducted into the internal effects of alkaline water on patients affected by such problems as pyrosis, dysphoria, abdominal distension, and chronic diarrhea [<a href=\"#B20-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B20-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">20<\/a>,<a href=\"#B21-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B21-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">21<\/a>,<a href=\"#B22-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B22-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">22<\/a>,<a href=\"#B23-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B23-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">23<\/a>,<a href=\"#B24-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B24-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">24<\/a>]. The research confirmed that the drinking of alkaline water for two weeks resulted in a significant health status improvement. However, little is known about alkaline water\u2019s superficial effect on selected skin parameters in people suffering from acne vulgaris. To the best of our knowledge, the present study explores, for the first time, the effectiveness of alkaline water in the treatment of acne vulgaris.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"sec2-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\"tsec sec\">\n<div class=\"goto jig-ncbiinpagenav-goto-container\"><a class=\"tgt_dark page-toc-label jig-ncbiinpagenav-goto-heading\" href=\"#\" title=\"Go to other sections in this page\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">Go to:<\/a><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"head no_bottom_margin ui-helper-clearfix\" id=\"sec2-healthcare-09-00144title\">2.

Participants in the Study<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p p-first\">This prospective case-control clinical study with follow-up analysis was conducted between January 2020 and February 2020 at Opole Medical School in Poland. It was approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee of the Opole Medical School (KB\/54\/NOZ\/2019), according to the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. The study was registered at the International Standard Randomized Controlled Trial Number (ISRCTN) registry database (No. ISRCTN 13842359). All participants signed written consent before the beginning of the study regarding participation in the study and the use of photographic images for publication. A photo was taken before treatment and 14 days after finishing all four treatment sessions (front view, left oblique, and right oblique). The subjects were informed that they could withdraw from the study at any time without giving a reason. Initially, 123 people participated in the study, but 35 individuals met the exclusion criteria, and another eight persons did not meet the inclusion criteria. After excluding 43 people from the study, the final study sample consisted of 80 women aged between 20 and 23 (<em>M<\/em> = 21.23; <em>SD<\/em> = 0.56).<\/p>\n<p>Group 1 included 40 young adult women with a higher sebum level and acne vulgaris (AV group). Participants were diagnosed with mild facial acne vulgaris using the Hellgren\u2013Vincent Scale (HVS) to determine acne lesions\u2019 severity.

Next, hydrogen cleansing was conducted using the H2 peel head, sucked the skin fold under a vacuum (supplying clean water with one cable), and flushed it with hydrogenated water. Used water was sucked in the second wire connected to the head, which drained it to the wastewater tank. The device\u2019s power was set for each of the four treatments at about a 10% vacuum; a higher dose could cause the appearance of ecchymosis on the skin. This stage of the procedure was performed for 10 min.<\/p>\n<p>The next stage of the procedure was applying an H2 jet head, using the potential of active hydrogen (hydrogenated water injection), which had a nozzle \u201cejecting\u201d the hydrogenated water under pressure. Power of 2 bars (intended for the face area) was used here for each series of treatments. This head was guided at a distance of 2\u20133 cm from the client\u2019s skin for 5 min. Participants were treated at a 1-week interval for four sessions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p p-last\">After the sessions, only moisturizing cream was applied to the facial skin of the subjects. Home care was recommended, which consisted of washing the face with micellar fluid and applying only a moisturizing cream. During the study, the participants were instructed that it was forbidden to perform any other cosmeceutical, exfoliating, or apparatus procedures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"sec2dot4-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\"sec\">\n<h3 id=\"sec2dot4-healthcare-09-00144title\">2.4.

The non-parametric Wilcoxon matched-pairs test was used for this purpose. Secondly, descriptive statistics were calculated separately in AV and control groups for each skin parameter, including the number of observations, mean, standard deviation, minimum, and maximum. The normality of the distribution of the data sets was examined using the Kolmogorov\u2013Smirnov <em>d<\/em> test. <\/p>\n<p class=\"p p-last\">Because all data showed normal distribution in both groups (<em>p<\/em> &gt; 0.05), the ANOVA with repeated measures (at baseline and on weeks 1 and 2 after finishing treatment of hydrogen purification) was performed to compare skin parameters (such as pH, sebum, and moisture) in selected places of the face (between the eyebrows, around the nose and around the bottom lip) in both groups (AV and control). Fisher\u2019s least significant difference (LSD) post-hoc test was conducted to find significant differences between groups, as well as between treatment conditions: test (at baseline) and retest (7 and 14 days after finishing treatment). Also, the effect size for ANOVA tests was calculated using a partial eta-square coefficient. All statistics were calculated using Statistica 13.1.

Discussion<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p p-first\">This 4-week study demonstrated that the hydrogen purification treatment designed specifically for women with mild to moderate acne led to a significant improvement in the severity of acne and the overall appearance and condition of the skin. To the best of our knowledge, a hydrogen purification treatment was examined regarding the topical cosmeceutical treatment of acne vulgaris for the first time in this study. The current treatment is based on active hydrogen. As one of the most powerful antioxidants, active hydrogen counteracts the aging process and alleviates inflammation and oxidative stress. The high-quality Hydrogenium+ generator removes oxygen and unfavorable ions of chlorine, sulfur, and phosphorus from the water, saturating it with active hydrogen and beneficial calcium, magnesium and potassium ions. Hydrogen can easily penetrate deep into the skin structures, bound with the most harmful free oxygen radicals, which effectively neutralizes them and deprives the skin of harmful properties.<\/p>\n<p>Then, as water, it is excreted from the body. Hydrogen purification can improve the skin\u2019s efficient functioning, slowing down the aging process, and reducing the effects of stress and environmental pollution. <\/p>\n<p>This study demonstrated that hydrogen\u2019s antioxidant activity mightalso affect common skin pathogens (e.g., <em>Cutibacterium acne, Staphylococcus ureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis<\/em>). It seems possible that the hydrogen may alleviate acne due to its antimicrobial properties and by reducing the sebum level. Sebum plays a key role in the pathogenesis of acne [<a href=\"#B26-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B26-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">26<\/a>,<a href=\"#B27-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B27-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">27<\/a>,<a href=\"#B28-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B28-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">28<\/a>]. In turn, the reduced sebum levels can improve skin properties and reduce acne.The inflammation\u2019s progress in the pathogenesis of acne may be related to sebum changes and reactive oxygen species (ROS) releasing from the impacted damaged follicular walls. Some of the common drugs in acne treatments, such as hydrogen peroxide, function by reducing ROS [<a href=\"#B29-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B29-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">29<\/a>]. A previous study showed that adding hydrogen peroxide to the preoperative skin preparation may be a low-risk method to reduce deep tissue contamination with <em>C<\/em>. acnes [<a href=\"#B30-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B30-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">30<\/a>,<a href=\"#B31-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B31-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">31<\/a>,<a href=\"#B32-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B32-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">32<\/a>]. Moreover, acne patients are recommended alkaline soaps (pH 9\u201310) with various surfactants [<a href=\"#B33-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B33-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">33<\/a>,<a href=\"#B34-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B34-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">34<\/a>]. Hydrogen sulfide concentrations in thermal spring waters showed inhibition properties on human origin\u2019s bacterial proliferation [<a href=\"#B35-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B35-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">35<\/a>].<\/p>\n<p>This study indicated that hydrogen purification treatment might positively reduce skin eruptions and increase moisture, as well as decrease the skin\u2019s oiliness in people suffering from acne vulgaris. In particular, the sebum level was significantly decreased only in the AV group, while skin moisture between the eyebrows and around the nose was significantly increased in both the AV and CS groups. The appropriate level of skin hydration plays a protective role in the skin barrier. Alkaline water may moisturize the skin and improve the skin\u2019s protective barrier. However, optimal times and methods of daily cleansing and moisturizing facial skin may have an equally beneficial effect on healthy skin [<a href=\"#B36-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B36-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">36<\/a>]. Many cleansers also moisturize, prevent, and soothe skin irritation by slowing down the evaporation of water.<\/p>\n<p>The positive effect of the hydrogen purification treatment on the reduction of sebum is probably due to alkaline water\u2019s beneficial effects. Alkaline water has a high level of pH, which can reduce excess sebum from the epidermis. Alkaline water seems to play a vital role as a regulatory factor with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects on cells and organs [<a href=\"#B15-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B15-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">15<\/a>]. Some skin cleansers, such as soap (pH 9\u201310), have a similar pH to alkaline water. However, washing a face with such a daily preparation would irritate the skin. The hydrogen purification treatment was performed on our patients once a week, thanks to which it brought excellent results in terms of reducing sebum without any side effects [<a href=\"#B37-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B37-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">37<\/a>].<\/p>\n<p>The hydrogen purification treatment did not significantly change the pH of the participant\u2019s facial skin in both AV and CS samples. This result is consistent with previous studies, which indicated that none of the five facial areas (i.e., forehead, nose, chin, and right\/left cheeks) differed significantly in pH between healthy participants and acne individuals [<a href=\"#B38-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B38-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">38<\/a>]. The pH of the skin surface has an impact on the barrier function [<a href=\"#B34-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B34-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">34<\/a>]. The current results showed that the acidification of the examined people\u2019s skin was in the range of 4.1\u20135.8 pH, which is the norm for the general population [<a href=\"#B39-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B39-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">39<\/a>]. Sch\u00fcrer [<a href=\"#B40-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B40-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">40<\/a>] found that a low pH level has skin protective properties, slowing down bacteria\u2019s growth. On the other hand, a large increase in pH may damage the skin surface, causing irritation, which may adversely affect the skin microbiome. Various external and internal factors can affect skin pH [<a href=\"#B34-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B34-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">34<\/a>]. Skin moisture, sweat, sebum, anatomy, genetic predisposition, age, and diet are among the many endogenous factors influencing skin pH. Exogenous factors include detergents, application of cosmetic products, occlusive dressings, topical antibiotics, humidity, season, and individual differences in behavioral habits. The current study found that hydrogen purification did not affect facial skin pH in young women. Perhaps this treatment was too short to change the pH significantly. Further research is necessary to explain this question.<\/p>\n<p>Previous studies only examined the healing properties of alkaline water for internal use by drinking it. For instance, Gadek et al. [<a href=\"#B41-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B41-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">41<\/a>] found that the daily drinking of 2 L of alkaline water (Nordenau and Hita Tenryosui water) decreased glucose HbA1c levels in people with type 2 diabetes. Significant changes were observed after just six days, and prolonged use of alkaline water caused a decrease in blood cholesterol and creatinine, as well as an increase in density lipoprotein levels [<a href=\"#B41-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B41-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">41<\/a>,<a href=\"#B42-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B42-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">42<\/a>]. Furthermore, Osada et al.

Similarly, blood triglyceride and total cholesterol levels significantly decreased in 92% of patients with hyperlipidemia. The study conducted by Higashikawa et al. [<a href=\"#B44-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B44-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">44<\/a>] showed that drinking alkaline water has an anti-metabolic effect, demonstrated by decreased starved blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and total cholesterol LDL cholesterol, GOT, g-GTP, triglyceride levels, arteriosclerosis index, and uric acid levels.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, an increase was noted in leptin levels, as well as the improvement of constipation. Alkaline water has also been used to support cancer treatment [<a href=\"#B45-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B45-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">45<\/a>,<a href=\"#B46-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B46-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">46<\/a>,<a href=\"#B47-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B47-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">47<\/a>,<a href=\"#B48-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B48-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">48<\/a>]. Alkaline water suppresses tumor angiogenesis, inhibits scavenging intracellular ROS, suppresses gene expression and vascular endothelial growth factor secretion, inhibits cancer cells and microorganisms\u2019 growth, and induces apoptosis along with glutathione in HL60 human leukemia cells. The ease of formation of alkaline water and its universality can bring about many health-related effects in the treatment of many disorders, including dermatological diseases and the maintenance of health. Thus, the promising results of this study should be continued and confirmed in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Previous research has shown the effectiveness of cosmeceutical treatment for improving skin parameters and reducing the scars of people with acne vulgaris, using acid peels, radiofrequency, and fractional microneedle radiofrequency, microdermabrasion, sonophoresis, and intense pulsed light (IPL) [<a href=\"#B25-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B25-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">25<\/a>,<a href=\"#B49-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B49-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">49<\/a>,<a href=\"#B50-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B50-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">50<\/a>].

For people with fistulas or cysts, the procedure is prohibited, and solely dermatological treatment is possible. It should be emphasized that the growing resistance to antibiotics in <em>Cutibacterium<\/em> acnes and other bacteria is becoming extremely alarming. Hydrogen purification can be used as an auxiliary in people who have developed drug resistance due to excessive long-time use of preparations medicinally, and also in those individuals who cannot use topical agents in the form of creams or ointments due to numerous side effects, such as severe irritation or peeling of the skin [<a href=\"#B55-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B55-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">55<\/a>,<a href=\"#B56-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B56-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">56<\/a>].<\/p>\n<div id=\"sec-a.o.d.l\" class=\"sec sec-last\">\n<h3 id=\"sec-a.o.d.ltitle\">Study Limitation<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p p-first\">The present study used the HVS to assess the severity of acne vulgaris and the Derma Unit SSC 3 device to measure selected skin parameters, such as the skin\u2019s pH, oiling, and moisture.

Conclusions<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p p-first-last\">Hydrogen purification is an effective and safe treatment for acne vulgaris. In this work, researchers conducted a study on people struggling with acne vulgaris and showed that hydrogen purification could help treat this disease for the first time. Treatment with hydrogen purification is safe and effective in reducing acne skin eruptions and can improve the skin\u2019s condition and an appearance by decreasing sebum and increasing the moisture level in young women. In combination with oral drugs and other topical therapies, hydrogen purification may be considered to optimize acne treatment outcomes and overcome the problems encountered with some conventional methods. However, it is essential to note that hydrogen purification cannot replace drug treatments but may be used as a supportive topical cure for acne vulgaris, combined with other forms of therapy, according to clinicians\u2019 recommendations [<a href=\"#B57-healthcare-09-00144\" rid=\"B57-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">57<\/a>].<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"app1-healthcare-09-00144\" class=\"tsec sec\">\n<div class=\"goto jig-ncbiinpagenav-goto-container\"><a class=\"tgt_dark page-toc-label jig-ncbiinpagenav-goto-heading\" href=\"#\" title=\"Go to other sections in this page\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">Go to:<\/a><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"head no_bottom_margin ui-helper-clearfix\" id=\"app1-healthcare-09-00144title\">Supplementary Materials<\/h2>\n<p><!--\/article\/back\/app-group\/app\/--><\/p>\n<p>The following are available online at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/2227-9032\/9\/2\/144\/s1\">https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/2227-9032\/9\/2\/144\/s1<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sec suppmat\" id=\"healthcare-09-00144-s001\">\n<div class=\"sup-box half_rhythm\" id=\"media-a.p.b.a.c.a\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7912839\/bin\/healthcare-09-00144-s001.zip\" data-ga-action=\"click_feat_suppl\">Click here for additional data file.<\/a><sup>(18K, zip)<\/sup><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"notes-a.p.c\" class=\"tsec sec\">\n<div class=\"goto jig-ncbiinpagenav-goto-container\"><a class=\"tgt_dark page-toc-label jig-ncbiinpagenav-goto-heading\" href=\"#\" title=\"Go to other sections in this page\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">Go to:<\/a><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"head no_bottom_margin ui-helper-clearfix\" id=\"notes-a.p.ctitle\">Author Contributions<\/h2>\n<p>Conceptualization, K.C.; methodology, K.C.; software, K.C. and R.S.; validation, K.C., A.M.R., and R.S.; formal analysis, A.M.R.; investigation, K.C.; resources, K.C. and R.S.; data curation, K.C. and A.M.R.; writing\u2014original draft preparation, K.C., A.M.R., and R.S.; writing\u2014review and editing, K.C., A.M.R., and R.S.; visualization, A.M.R.; supervision, R.S.; project administration, K.C. and R.S.; funding acquisition, R.S.
