Acne Treatment With Prescription Retinoids

Who this may help

This may help if you're dealing with acne and want a prescription-strength approach guided by a provider, rather than trial-and-error with over-the-counter products.

Evaluation & treatment overview

Your provider will assess your skin and acne pattern to determine whether prescription retinoids or another approach is appropriate for you.

What to expect

• A skin assessment and discussion of your acne history.
• A prescription plan, such as a retinoid, if appropriate.
• Follow-up to see how your skin is responding and adjust as needed.

Potential benefits

Every plan is individualized, and results vary by person. Working with a provider on this may help with:

• Prescription-strength options not available over the counter
• A plan managed and adjusted by a provider over time
