Assessing Skincare Awareness in Acne Vulgaris: A Cross-Sectional Study
Patients who used skincare products had milder acne, and this use correlated positively with their education level and frequency of medical consultations. Notably, patients undergoing topical therapies exhibited the lowest level of skincare knowledge. Dermatologists should recommend the use of skincare products at all stages of acne treatment to help maintain the skin barrier and protect against potential adverse effects of treatments.
