[Adjunctive acne therapies--2010].

Abstract

Modern acne therapy is based on the application of anticomedogenic, antimicrobial, or antiinflammatory substances, and antiandrogens. Additionally, traditional or newly developed therapeutic approaches may be considered, including pharmacologic (dapsone, zinc) and physical measures (phototherapy, photodynamic therapy, laser, comedone extraction, abrasives). This article reviews such adjunctive therapies with regard to efficacy and their roles in the therapy of acne.
