This single-group, open-label clinical trial examines the efficacy of Cool as a Cucumber's Acne Treatment Serum in adults with acne-prone skin. The study will enroll 25 male and female participants between the ages of 24 and 47 who will use the serum for eight weeks, with assessments conducted virtually at Baseline, Week 4, and Week 8. The primary objective is to evaluate the effects of the Acne Treatment Serum on facial acne using the Validated Acne Quality-of-Life Scale (Acne QoL) and expert-graded before-and-after photographs. Secondary objectives include evaluating changes in skin texture, uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation, redness, sebum production, and fine lines and wrinkles via self-reported questionnaires.
