ImpactModerate impact

While some users recognize the importance of diet for skin health, the overall perceived impact is moderate, given the scientific context.

Abstract in brief

The development of acne is closely linked to Western diets high in sugary carbs, dairy, and saturated fats, which disrupt hormone levels and stimulate skin oil production.
Diet influences skin inflammation and bacteria growth by activating specific cellular pathways (like mTORC1) that increase sebum output and change its composition, encouraging acne-causing bacteria.
These dietary effects lead to increased skin inflammation and bacterial activity, worsening acne by promoting immune responses and keratinocyte growth.]
