Patient question
Can topical retinoids treat acne?
Short answer
Yes — doctors use topical retinoids to treat acne, usually as a first-line option. Which option suits you depends on your diagnosis, how severe it is, and your medical history, and a licensed doctor decides that with you.
This answers one question. It is not a diagnosis and does not replace an assessment by a licensed doctor.
