Treatment of acne vulgaris (common acne) in patients 12 years and older. It is applied topically to the skin where acne lesions are present.
Cabtreo combines three mechanisms: clascoterone targets androgen receptors to reduce sebum (oil) production, adapalene normalizes skin cell turnover to prevent clogged pores, and benzoyl peroxide provides antibacterial effects against Cutibacterium acnes.
For topical use only; avoid contact with eyes, lips, and mucous membranes. May cause skin irritation, dryness, or peeling. Sun exposure should be minimized during treatment. Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult their healthcare provider before use.
