NCT ID NCT07759505
First seen Aug 12, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study evaluates a new dermocosmetic cream containing 15% azelaic acid in people with mild-to-moderate acne. Researchers will observe how well the cream reduces acne lesions and improves skin discoloration, and how well it is tolerated, compared to standard treatments like oral or topical acne medications. The study follows participants over 84 days in routine care settings to see if the cream offers a comparable or better balance of effectiveness and skin tolerance.
