New cream aims to keep acne away after strong medication
NCT ID NCT07341659
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a cosmetic cream (RV3278B-OS0386) to see if it can stop acne from returning after a full course of oral isotretinoin. About 102 adults with clear or almost clear skin after isotretinoin will use the cream or a control product twice daily for 12 months. The main goal is to measure how many people have an acne relapse during that time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- cosmetic cream (RV3278B-OS0386)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this cream could help keep acne away after a course of isotretinoin, reducing the chance of relapse.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage cosmetic study, not a drug trial. The cream may not prevent relapse better than a control product, and results may not apply to everyone.
