Standard Acne Therapies
Conventional acne treatments—such as topical retinoids, antibiotics, and hormonal agents—are effective for many, but not all, patients. Fixed-dose commercial formulations can cause irritation, dryness, or poor adherence when the active concentration is too strong, or the base is incompatible with the patient’s skin. (Webster G.and Gollnick H., 2015)
Compounding allows dermatologists to overcome these barriers by tailoring both active ingredients and delivery systems to each patient’s needs. For example:
- Customized concentrations of retinoic acid, benzoyl peroxide, or azelaic acid for sensitive or resistant skin types
- Combination therapies that merge multiple actives into one convenient application—improving compliance and results
- Alternative vehicles such as non-comedogenic creams, gels, or lotions to reduce irritation and enhance absorption
- Antibiotic stewardship through localized or rotation-based formulations to minimize systemic exposure and resistance
By giving prescribers full flexibility in designing treatment plans, compounded acne medications can help patients achieve sustainable improvements while reducing side effects.
