Background

Acne can have lasting emotional and psychological effects, and even cause permanent scarring. We are researching an investigational acne medication that may reduce acne.

The medication comes in the form of a topical gel to be applied on the face once or twice daily.

This study seeks males and females who suffer from acne. In addition to the initial screening visit, participants will be required to attend 5 study visits at the research site over a 4 month period.  Participants are compensated up to $525 for partaking in this study.
