Treat acneAcne Scar Formula: tretinoin in a silicone gel to reduce acne scarringScar Formula: triamcinolone, levocetirizine, and vitamin C combined to reduce the appearance of scarsNail Formula: a combination of ketoconazole, terbinafine, hydrocortisone, biotin, and antibiotics applied directly to the nailWoundVite: nutritional supplement to increase wound healingStrutVite: nutritional supplement for hair, skin, and nail healthSeveral of Strut’s skin care treatments share ingredients, including tretinoin, silicone gel, niacinamide, and clindamycin. Let’s look at how some of these ingredients might work for their intended purposes:TretinoinThis retinoid ingredient has been shown to treat various signs of skin aging.28 It also appears to have anti-inflammatory properties that can help with acne and an ability to prevent scarring after surgery.29 30Silicone gelThe scarring study referenced above also included a silicone gel, which Strut puts in both of its scar treatments. A larger review exclusive to silicone gel reinforces its efficacy in preventing post-surgical scarring.31NiacinamideA form of vitamin B, niacinamide has been shown to help minimize oxidative processes, increase skin smoothness, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.32ClindamycinFound only in Strut’s Acne Formula, clindamycin appears to reduce the number of pustules and papules after eight weeks of use.33 However, the study in question included a high incidence of diarrhea among participants, though researchers only positively connected one incident to the treatment.HydroquinoneA popular skin-lightening ingredient, hydroquinone is somewhat controversial thanks in part to its association with certain cancers in animal studies. The association has yet to extend to humans, but hydroquinone still has some noteworthy potential side effects, including ochronosis and trimethylaminuria, the latter of which is also called “fish odor syndrome.”34 As the name suggests, it results in a fishy odor in sweat, urine, and saliva.Strut offers a pair of nutritional supplements, as well. One of these, StrutVite, is designed to bolster skin, nail, and hair health, and the other, WoundVite, is intended to accelerate wound healing.Here’s a quick look at the ingredient bills for both:StrutVite ingredients:Vitamin A: 1,000IUVitamin C: 30mgVitamin E: 10IUThiamin: 1.5mgRiboflavin: 1.7mgNiacin: 25mgVitamin B6: 2mgFolic acid: 400mcgVitamin B12: 6mcgBiotin: 5,000mcgPantothenic acid: 50mgIodine: 50mcgIodine: 50mcgZinc: 15mgCopper: 1mgBoron: 1mgCholine: 250mcgInositol: 50mcgMSM: 400mgHydrolyzed collagen:
