Acne-affected skin has been found to be accompanied by the presence of matrix- degrading enzymes such as MMPs and neutrophil elastase, induction of neutrophils, and a reduction in procollagen biosynthesis. This invention treats scarring and inflammation accompanying acne by administering, topically or systemically, at least one of (i) an inhibitor of the matrix degrading enzymes and (ii) a cytokine inhibitor that alleviates inflammation and thus also alleviate neutrophil infiltration. Alleviating the matrix degradation and renormalizing procollagen biosynthesis allows for reduced inflammation and better natural repair of acne-affected skin. Inhibiting cytokines alleviates induction of MMPs is resident skin cells, and also alleviates inflammation with its concommitant induction of neutrophils from the blood stream bringing MMPs and elastase into the acne lesion. Diminishing the presence of matrix- degrading enzymes in the acne lesion reduces imperfect repair of the skin and thus decreases scarring in acne-affected skin.

On a découvert que la peau acnéique s'accompagne souvent de la présence d'enzymes dégradant la matrice dermique, telles que MMP et l'élastase neutrophilique, de l'induction de neutrophiles, et d'une réduction de la biosynthèse du procollagène. Les compositions et procédés de l'invention permettent le traitement de la formation de cicatrices et de l'inflammation accompagnant l'acné, par l'administration, localement ou de manière systémique, d'au moins un (i) inhibiteur des enzymes dégradant la matrice et/ou (ii) d'un inhibiteur de cytokines atténuant l'inflammation et donc l'infiltration de neutrophiles. L'atténuation de la dégradation matricielle et la renormalisation de la biosynthèse du procollagène permet de réduire l'inflammation et favorise la réparation naturelle de la peau acnéique. L'inhibition des cytokines atténue l'induction des MMP dans des cellules de la peau, ainsi que l'inflammation et l'induction concomitante de neutrophiles du courant sanguin amenant les MMP et l'élastase dans la lésion acnéique. La réduction de la présence des enzymes dégradant la matrice dans la lésion acnéique, réduit la réparation imparfaite de la peau et réduit ainsi la formation de cicatrices dans la peau acnéique.
