About this trial

In this study, we are interested in the global benefit of the tested product as complementary care to a topical medical treatment during a 3 month-associated treatment phase followed by a 3 month-maintenance phase, compared to a light moisturizing cream, in teenagers and adults with acne. We also want to evaluate the tolerance of the tested product in association and in maintenance of the topical medical treatment.
