[Topical treatment of acne]

The topical treatment of acne has a great place in the therapeutic range of products which is available. It can be prescribed alone in moderate acne in most of cases, or in combination with an oral treatment in diffuse or severe acne. Last years formulations have improved with a better penetration and tolerance and therefore a better compliance and efficiency. Also, the association of 2 active molecules gives better efficiency and an easier following of the treatment. Topical treatment can be prescribed with a cosmetic cream specially adapted for greasy or acneic skin which can reduce irritation and give comfort.
