TLDR Simpler treatments and better drug delivery improve acne and rosacea outcomes.
The review highlights the importance of patient adherence and satisfaction in achieving successful treatment outcomes for acne and rosacea. It emphasizes that poor tolerability of active drugs and complex treatment regimens can negatively impact adherence. The study discusses innovative drug delivery technologies, such as drug microencapsulation, which have improved the tolerability of active ingredients and allowed for fixed-dose combinations of incompatible drugs like benzoyl peroxide and tretinoin. These advancements aim to simplify treatment regimens, enhance patient satisfaction, and reduce treatment costs. However, further research is needed to fully understand the impact of these modern formulations on adherence and outcomes.
