Acne vulgaris is one of the most prevalent dermatological diseases in society, especially among adolescents. It is defined as a chronic inflammation of the pilosebaceous unitand is clinically marked by a polymorphism of lesions characterized by papules, pustules, nodules, comedones and abscesses, and may lead to physical and psychological sequelae. It has a multifactorial origin encompassing hormonal, genetic, immunological, and bacterial aspects, as well as the increase in sebaceous secretion and the disorder in the follicular keratinization; however, much about its pathogenesis still remains unknown, requiring studies to clarify it. This article is a literature review carried out with the aim of identifying the influence of diet on the onset or worsening of acne vulgaris. An exploratory search was carried out in the following databases: Virtual Health Library and PUBMED, and the academic search engine Google Scholar, selecting papers published in the last 10 years in Portuguese and English with the keywords "acne vulgaris", "diet", "glycemic index" and "consumption", as well as their correspondents inPortuguese. A total of 405 articles were found, after exclusion of duplicate items, the analysis and eligibility criteria were applied respecting the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses, given follow-up 20 articles were included in this review. Most suggested a positive association between acne and diets, especially those with high glycemic indices or consisting of milk; other dairy products and chocolate had conflicting results, moreover, the protective factors need better investigation. Finally, it is recommended that randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trials be carried out in the search for more solid evidence on the subject, in order to optimize the treatment and the quality of life of the individuals affected by this pathology.
