Long-Term Effectiveness and Safety of Up to 48 Weeks ’ Treatment with Topical Adapalene 0.3%/Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5% Gel in the Prevention and Reduction of Atrophic Acne Scars in Moderate and Severe Facial Acne

ConclusionsReductions in atrophic acne scars and acne lesions observed after 24  weeks of treatment with A0.3/BPO2.5 gel were maintained with treatment up to 48 weeks. The additional improvement in atrophic scar count with 48 weeks’ A0.3/BPO2.5 treatment, compared to delayed application at 24 weeks, highlights the importance of early initiation of effective acne treatment to prevent and reduce the formation of acne scars.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT02735421.
