0 How do I know if an acne treatment I heard about in the media will work?

It is good to learn that there have been many excellent topical and system drugs developed for the treatment of acne over the past 2 decades.

Because acne is such a common condition, the trend is that it has been continued improve­ment in the design of clinical trials with outcomes that provide excellent new acne therapies. In fact, advances in medicine occur fairly rapidly, and new treatments are always on the horizon. The important thing is to speak with our dermatologist about new over-the-counter or prescription acne treatments that we hear or read about, and any new acne treatment that we intend to apply should be based on sound scientific evidence.
