The Latest in Acne Care

Optimizing Acne Care

One of the marked changes in the practice of dermatology over the past thirty years has been the increased focus on acne. What was once considered a universal rite of passage that occasionally caused deeply disturbing scars is now considered—by patients and doctors alike—an insufferable condition that must be treated. Perhaps as a sign that available treatments are increasingly successful, acne is showing signs of affecting popular culture.

Adapalene 0.1%/BPO 2.5% (adapalene/BPO) gel is a novel agent for acne therapy that has recently become available in Canada. This fixed-dose combination of a topical retinoid and benzoyl peroxide is efficacious in mild-moderate inflammatory acne and as an adjunct to oral antibiotics for severe acne.
