Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To visualize and characterize the presence of skin microbiota as biofilm on healthy and acneic skin
using biopsy samples of the back.
- To identify acne/phylotype-specific transformations in the immune microenvironments using biopsy
samples of the back from healthy and acneic volunteers.
- To detect microbial species and phylotypes within the back biopsy from healthy and acneic
volunteers.
- To isolate and collect the skin microbes for construction of in vitro skin biofilm models.
 
baseline visit 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To evaluate other skin clinical parameters: sebum content, skin erythema, itching, dandruff and UV
fluorescence.
- To evaluate skin/scalp disorders (itching/dandruff), possible aggravation factors & cosmetic routines
and see if itching and dandruff can be correlated.
