About this formula

Acne isn't a skincare routine you haven't found yet. It's a medical condition.

Most OTC products aren't equipped to treat it. Acne Care by DoctorDerm delivers prescription-strength actives that work at the source: regulating sebum, targeting bacteria, and accelerating cell turnover. The stuff that requires a real provider to prescribe, because it's actually strong enough to work.

Tens of millions of Americans deal with acne every year, and most still rely on over-the-counter products that aren't equipped to treat a medical condition. That's why we built DoctorDerm: prescription-strength treatment, prescribed by a real provider, without the waiting room.

85%

of people between the ages of 12 and 24 experience at least minor acne.

The Formula

What's in it.

Three prescription-grade actives. Each one doing something the others can't.

Active 01

Clindamycin Phosphate

C₁₈H₃₄ClN₂O₈PS · Antibiotic

Targets acne bacteria

Clindamycin Phosphate is a topical prescription antibiotic that works by binding to bacterial ribosomes and blocking protein synthesis in Cutibacterium acnes, the primary bacteria responsible for acne. By reducing bacterial colonization in the follicle, it helps address the infection and inflammatory cascade that causes papules, pustules, and cystic breakouts.

Active 02

Niacinamide

C₆H₆N₂O · Vitamin B3

Calms, supports clarity, strengthens

Niacinamide is a water-soluble form of Vitamin B3 designed to support acne-prone skin across multiple pathways. It strengthens the skin's lipid barrier by stimulating ceramide production, helps regulate sebum, and acts as an anti-inflammatory to calm the redness and irritation that accompany active breakouts.

Active 03

Tretinoin

C₂₀H₂₈O₂ · Retinoid

Supports clarity and renewal

Tretinoin is a first-generation retinoic acid widely used in prescription acne treatment. It accelerates the natural cell turnover cycle, pushing dead cells out of the follicle before they can combine with sebum and bacteria to form a blockage. This comedolytic action may help reduce the formation of blackheads and whiteheads.

Individual results may vary.
