Sensitive, acne-prone skin poses a therapeutic challenge due to overlapping needs for hydration, barrier repair, and non-irritating acne control. “Mona Derma” refers to a proposed monotherapy framework using a combination of niacinamide, ceramides, and low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of the Mona Derma protocol in adults with mild-to-moderate acne and compromised skin barrier function. Methods: A 12-week, single-blind, randomized controlled trial (n=60) compared Mona Derma topical cream versus standard benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel. Primary outcomes: acne lesion count, transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and patient-reported irritation. Results: Mona Derma significantly reduced TEWL by 28% (p<0.01) and non-inflammatory lesions by 40% (p<0.05), with fewer reports of erythema and stinging compared to control. Conclusion: Mona Derma offers a helpful, well-tolerated alternative for patients whose sensitive skin cannot tolerate traditional acne treatments. Some of the treatments they offer include: Mona
