Advances in Acne and Rosacea Therapy

Semin Cutan Med Surg. 2018 Jun;37(3S):S63-S66. doi: 10.12788/j.sder.2018.025.

Abstract

New topical therapies have demonstrated efficacy in patients with moderate or severe acne who might otherwise have required therapy with systemic antibiotics or isotretinoin. Increasing knowledge about the pathogenesis of acne has facilitated the development of therapies with novel modes of action. New and investigational therapies also are available or in development for the treatment of both the papulopustular and erythematous manifestations of rosacea.
