You’re not the only one who has ever felt self-conscious about having acne! Did you know that acne is the most frequent skin ailment in the Philippines? Over 17 million people, both young and elderly, are impacted. Acne can cause discomfort and embarrassment. Particularly among teenagers, it can have an effect on relationships, happiness, and self-worth.
According to clinical research, over 50% of individuals with facial acne also had acne on their shoulders, backs, and chest. Patients spend time and money on goods for therapy and good hygiene. The good news is that acne can be resolved with the right care and early intervention.
Patients should consult a board-certified dermatologist for safe and efficient prescription treatments, such as the most recent advancement in retinoid therapy—trifarotene cream.
For acne on the face, shoulders, and back, this novel topical single-agent retinoid cream has been shown to be both safe and effective. The retinoid ingredient found in trifarotene cream helps the skin replace its old skin cells more quickly, thereby removing the old cells and avoiding the formation of new pimples. Trifarotene reduces inflammation and targets the key variables that produce acne by selectively binding to the most common receptor in the skin, the retinoic acid receptor gamma (RAR-y).
Trifarotene is the first new retinoid molecule to receive FDA approval for treating acne in over 25 years. It offers both dermatologists and acne patients a safe and effective prescription acne medication for the face, back, chest, and shoulders. Galderma, a world leader in developing innovative and safe dermatologist-approved skincare solutions, now brings Trifarotene to the Philippines market. The same company gave the world well-loved brands like Cetaphil, Benzac, and Restylane, among many others. With the addition of Trifarotene to its portfolio, the company further cements its claim as one of the most innovative dermatologist-recommended skincare-focused companies in the world today.
Only properly licensed medical professionals, mostly dermatologists, may prescribe trifarotene, which is advised for patients 12 years of age and above.
