Abstract

BACKGROUND: Acne vulgaris (AV) is one of the most common skin disorders, with a peak incidence in adolescence and early adulthood. Topical treatments are usually used for mild to moderate AV; however, a lack of adherence to topical treatment is seen in patients due to various reasons. Therefore, personalized skincare recommendations may be beneficial for treating mild-to-moderate AV.
