Demonstrates enhanced anti-biofilm activity in skincare formulation against Cutibacterium acnes, indicating potential for improved treatments.
Coated ZnO-NPs demonstrated antibacterial and biofilm-disrupting activities against Cutibacterium acnes in a high-viscosity, skincare-mimicking water-in-oil formulation. They reduced viable biofilm-embedded cell count by more than 100-fold compared to the control formulation. The sebum-exposed in vitro biofilm model provides a practical platform for evaluating anti-biofilm skincare products.
