Brief summary
This is an open-label, multi-center study to be conducted in the United States. The study will examine the change in lesion count in subjects using Epiduo® Gel Pump (once daily) in conjunction with Cetaphil® DermaControl™ Foam Wash (twice daily) and Moisturizer SPF 30 (once daily). Subjects with a clinical diagnosis of mild or moderate acne who are eligible for treatment with Epiduo® in accordance with the currently approved product labeling and who meet other inclusion/exclusion criteria are to be enrolled in the study and receive the study products for 8 weeks. Efficacy and safety assessments include: complete lesion counts, cutaneous irritation assessment, end of study treatment questionnaire, photographic evaluation for oiliness, skin tone, and P Acnes, hydration assessment, barrier function assessment, treatment compliance, and adverse event assessment.
