Acne is a treatable condition, but there is no definitive cure for it. The goal of acne treatment is to manage and control the symptoms, reduce the severity of outbreaks, and prevent scarring. According to a study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, combination therapy with topical agents, such as benzoyl peroxide and retinoids, along with oral antibiotics or hormonal therapies, can result in a significant reduction in acne lesions.
