Ongoing research regarding acne

Ongoing research is currently investigating many factors in the treatment of acne, including:

New medications. New drugs to treat acne, particularly new topical antibiotics, are being researched. The bacteria that causes acne is becoming resistant to some antibiotics, so other means of treating acne are being evaluated.
New procedures. New laser treatments are currently under investigation. Many of these show a great deal of promise.
