Résumé

Acne is one of the most common dermatologic diseases in the world. It is due to the secretion of a high level of sebum that causes follicular hyperkeratinisation, alterations of the cutaneous microbiota, and inflammatory processes. One of the first-line treatments is still an antibiotic prescription, that inhibits bacterial growth and, as a consequence, lowers some of the other symptoms. Nevertheless, this high level of antibiotic prescription contributes to the increase of antibiotic resistance. Alternatives to antibiotics are thus highly required, as acne does not represent per se an infection.
