Brief Summary  

·      After screening, all patients with active acne (comedones, papules and pustules) will be chosen.

·      Before starting treatment, detailed history, clinical examination of patients will be done. 

·      The patient will be informed about the treatment given and possible local side effects like dryness, erythema and irritation which might occur.

·      Informed written consent will be taken from each patient

·      In case of minor patients, the informed written consent will be taken from the parent/guardian 

·      Data will be collected by a single examiner and recorded in case proforma.

·      Patients will be randomly divided into two equal groups, Group A and Group B 

·      Patients of Group A will be asked to apply adapalene 0.1% gel once daily for 12 weeks 

·     

 

 
Patients of Group B will be asked to apply trifarotene 0.005% cream once daily for 12 weeks 

·      Both the groups will be provided with skin care products including identical gentle non-comedogenic cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen

·      Digital photographs of the face and trunk will be taken using identical camera settings, patient positioning and room lighting at baseline and at 12 weeks. 

·      After 12 weeks, the digital photographs will be compared with baseline.

·      Physician’s assessment of improvement will also be recorded by Investigator’s Global Assessment (IGA) score for facial and  truncal acne

·      The efficacy of the treatment will be calculated based on percent of clearance of lesions

·      The safety of the treatment will be assessed by the side effects associated with the treatment 

·      Patient’s assessment of improvement will be recorded by visual analog scale.
