title: The effects of Silicol Skin on moderate to severe acne: UK field survey.
abstract: This field survey assessed the effect of the natural trace element silicon, the active ingredient in Silicol Skin, on moderate to severe acne. Members of the Acne Support Group used Silicol Skin for 6 weeks, completing identical questionnaires on the type and severity of acne before and after treatment. A statistically significant 86% overall improvement was reported, with most participants citing the chin as showing the greatest change. Total disappearance of acne was noted in some locations. Results did not differ significantly between the group that used Silicol Skin alone and the group that added it to their prescribed oral medication. Silicol Skin can help improve moderate to severe acne.
