Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

The difference in the change in acne symptoms as assessed by the Acne Quality of Life Questionnaire (ACNE-QoL) between GenLabs' Social Skin and placebo

The difference in the change in acne symptoms as assessed by the Acne Quality of Life Questionnaire (ACNE-QoL) between GenLabs' Social Skin and placebo from baseline at Day 30. The Acne symptoms domain of the Acne-QoL is comprised of 5 questions which assess the physical symptoms experienced by facial acne sufferers. Questions include the number of bumps on the face, the extent of scabbing from the acne, and the level of worry associated with scarring from the acne.

Time frame: Day 0 to 30

Secondary Outcomes

The difference in the change in acne symptoms as assessed by the Acne Quality of Life Questionnaire (ACNE-QoL) between GenLabs' Social Skin

The difference in the change in acne symptoms as assessed by the Acne Quality of Life Questionnaire (ACNE-QoL) between GenLabs' Social Skin and placebo from baseline at Day 10

Time frame: Day 0 to 10

The difference in the change in acne symptoms as assessed by the Acne Quality of Life Questionnaire (ACNE-QoL) between GenLabs' Social Skin

The difference in the change in acne symptoms as assessed by the Acne Quality of Life Questionnaire (ACNE-QoL) between GenLabs' Social Skin and placebo from baseline at Day 20.

Time frame: Day 0 to 20

The difference in change in acne symptoms as assessed by the Self-assessment of Clinical Acne-Related Scars (SCARS) between GenLabs' Social Skin and placebo

The difference in change in acne symptoms as assessed by the Self-assessment of Clinical Acne-Related Scars (SCARS) between GenLabs' Social Skin and placebo from baseline at Day 10. The SCARS has two parts, part 1 asks questions related to current active acne including zits, breakouts, pimpled, whiteheads, and blackheads, and questions related to atrophic scaring including indents or holes in the skin from previous active acne. Part 2 of the SCARS, assess acne scar appearance and severity with 5 questions such as how much of your face is covered by indents or holes with five potential answers: almost none of my face, a little of my face, some of my face, a lot of my face, and almost all of my face
