Comparing two creams for moderate facial acne
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a newer prescription cream called clascoterone works better than an older antibiotic cream (clindamycin) when both are used along with a common acne gel (adapalene/benzoyl peroxide). You'll apply a cream to your face for a few months, and doctors will track how well your acne clears and if side effects occur.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
