Summary

This study tests whether a ketoconazole cream can treat mild acne as well as a standard retinoid cream (adapalene), but with fewer side effects. About 52 people with mild acne will use one of the two creams for 12 weeks. The goal is to see if ketoconazole is a good alternative that patients may tolerate better.
