Study Summary

In current Dermatology practice, options for moderate acne vulgaris remain limited. The mainstay of treatment for moderate acne remains long courses of oral antibiotics despite emerging antibiotic resistance. The efficacy of daily to twice daily dosed isotretinoin, an oral vitamin A derivative, for treatment of severe acne has been well established. The purpose of this study is to determine if once weekly dosed isotretinoin is effective for the treatment of patients with moderate acne. Additionally, the study aims to evaluate patient satisfaction and identify any adverse effects on this alternative dosing regimen.

Primary Outcome

Will look at clinical photos before, during, and after treatment and grade acne using a validated, clinical grading system (Comprehensive Acne Severity Scale, CASS) with "0" being clear skin and "5" being very severe acne. Participants are eligible for the study if their score is 3 or higher. An improvement in their visible acne is a score of 2, 1, or 0 at the end of the 4 months of treatment.
