Re: Adult acna
Dear Corina,
Thank you for your question. There are effective treatments available for adult acne. They include benzoil peroxide, cream retinoids, cream antibiotics, oral antibiotics, oral combined contraceptive pills, Roacutane/ isotretinoin.
Roacutane is the most effective but requires close supervision by a dermatologist and regular blood tests. Ladies also should not get pregnant because of severe birth defects.
I hope this is helpful.
With best wishes,
