JDD Article Highlight
Adult acne presents unique challenges, particularly concerning skin barrier function, which is often overlooked in clinical practice. JDD’s latest article “Challenges in Adult Acne and the Role of Skin Care in Managing the Condition” explores insights from a panel of eight dermatologists who reached a consensus on the importance of maintaining skin barrier integrity in adult acne patients. The panel emphasizes that common adverse effects like erythema, pruritus, peeling, and xerosis, often associated with first-line treatments, can undermine patient adherence and outcomes if not properly managed. By incorporating high-quality cleansers and moisturizers into treatment regimens, dermatologists can enhance patient satisfaction and improve long-term treatment success. Understanding and addressing these factors is essential for providing personalized care and optimizing treatment efficacy in adult acne management.
