Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the relationship between diet and acne in adolescents and adults through a review of observational studies and randomized trials conducted between 2003 and 2013. Data source: The search was performed in the Medline, Lilacs, Scielo, Cochrane and Coordination of Improvement of Higher Education (CAPES) databases. Data synthesis: 13 studies were included in this review and had their quality evaluated by two independent reviewers. Evidence suggests involvement of diet in the pathology of acne in adolescents and adults, especially in relation to dairy products and high glycemic load foods. Conclusions: Most of the studies included in the review suggest that there is a relationship between diet and acne. The relationship between acne and fish intake and specific diets, such as the Mediterranean, need to be further investigated.
