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.
