BACKGROUNDAcne vulgaris commonly affects adults, adolescents, and preadolescents aged 9 years or older.OBJECTIVEThe objective of this study was to provide evidence-based recommendations for the management of acne.METHODSA work group conducted a systematic review and applied the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation approach for assessing the certainty of evidence and formulating and grading recommendations.RESULTSThis guideline presents 18 evidence-based recommendations and 5 good practice statements. Strong recommendations are made for benzoyl peroxide, topical retinoids, topical antibiotics, and oral doxycycline. Oral isotretinoin is strongly recommended for acne that is severe, causing psychosocial burden or scarring, or failing standard oral or topical therapy. Conditional recommendations are made for topical clascoterone, salicylic acid, and azelaic acid, as well as for oral minocycline, sarecycline, combined oral contraceptive pills, and spironolactone. Combining topical therapies with multiple mechanisms of action, limiting systemic antibiotic use, combining systemic antibiotics with topical therapies, and adding intralesional corticosteroid injections for larger acne lesions are recommended as good practice statements.LIMITATIONSAnalysis is based on the best available evidence at the time of the systematic review.CONCLUSIONSThese guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations for the management of acne vulgaris.
