Acne Treatment is Possible, Even in the Summer!*

This young man wanted to resolve his acne as quickly as possible, but there were some challenges - sports, sun, camps, all the fun summer stuff.

Acne is often best treated with retinoids, with oral isotretinoin (frequently known as Accutane) often being the fastest way to resolve pesky acne.

But, traditionally retinoids can cause sun sensitivity making them tricky to effectively use during the sunnier months. But with a simple routine and sun protection, retinoids *can* be successful, even during the summer.

Dr. Austin’s Get Clear Quick Summer Acne Treatment Plan:

Low-dose oral isotretinoin (Accutane)

Heliocare, an oral natural sunblock supplement. He was able to enjoy his summer while being protected all day long. Heliocare is a great choice for those who are very active outdoors and/or prone to acne.

Topically, he used Colorescience No-Show which is a unqiue sunblock with antioxidants that reduce inflammation and redness, as well as an “invisible feel” and water-resistant. This is a top choice for our active patients and also teenagers who are on the go.
