New acne treatments show promise as alternatives to traditional therapies.

This study provided 18 evidence-based recommendations for managing acne vulgaris, strongly endorsing treatments like benzoyl peroxide, topical retinoids, and oral isotretinoin for severe cases, and issued conditional recommendations for therapies like salicylic acid and spironolactone, while offering good practice statements on combining treatment methods.

This presentation highlighted future directions in acne care, emphasizing the roles of topical and oral antibiotics, as well as skin microbiome studies. It also described how clascoterone targets androgen receptors in hair follicles and sebaceous glands to reduce sebum production.

This study reported that clascoterone cream reduced inflammatory and noninflammatory acne lesions in a trial with 1440 white males and non-pregnant females, showing it was well tolerated in these participants.
