Triple-combination therapies for acne are known for their efficacy, but the complexity of multiple treatments often reduces patient adherence. Enter CAB gel (Clindamycin phosphate 1.2%/adapalene 0.15%/benzoyl peroxide 3.1%; Cabtreo®, Ortho Dermatologics), the first FDA-approved triple-combination topical for acne. This fixed-dose gel simplifies the regimen by combining three potent ingredients into one easy-to-apply treatment.
