Tiny nanocarriers could prove the magic bullet for acne sufferers

A new antibacterial compound known as Narasin was encased in tiny, soft nanoparticles 1000 times smaller than a single strand of human hair.

The drug more commonly used in the livestock industry proved successful against drug-resistant acne bacteria.

Narasin is commonly used for bacterial infections in livestock but has never been previously investigated as a viable treatment for acne.
