Acne is a type of common skin condition, which generally occurs in young and teenage populations. Its breakouts can occur anywhere on the skin, like the face, neck, and shoulders amongst numerous parts. Acne generally occurs when the pores of the skin are choked by oils, dead skin cells, and dirt. Acne may also grow into a pimple or zit. There are numerous types of acne lesions, among which blackheads and whiteheads are among the most common. A blackhead, also known as an open-comedone, occurs on the skin, which gets black by exposure to the oxygen in the air. The whiteheads, or closed-comedones, are a type of raised bumps under the surface and are flesh-colored. Apart from dirt and oil, numerous other aspects increase the growth of acne in the skin, like smoking, poor sleep schedule, stress, family history, and hormonal changes due to puberty or pregnancy.

There are three major modes of treatment of acne, several mild, moderate, and severe treatment methods for treating acne on the skin. The mild method contains using over-the-counter medications, like benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acids. The moderate treatment comprises prescription drugs, like erythromycin or clindamycin antibodies and retinol. The severe treatment procedure includes oral antibiotics, benzoyl peroxide, and topical antibiotics, prescribed by the dermatologists. The severe treatment procedure also includes various procedures like photodynamic therapy (PDT), dermabrasion, chemical peel, and cortisone injections.

Various companies are introducing new formulations and product ranges to attract a new consumer base in the acne treatment market.

To solve this issue, various companies have introduced products with new formulations to attract consumers with sensitive skin bases.

The acne treatment market by product is segmented into retinoids, antibiotics, isotretinoin, and others. Under the product segment of the acne treatment market, the retinoid is estimated to attain the maximum share. Retinoids are a type of chemical compound, which are related to vitamin A or vitamin B. It is generally used to regulate epithelial cell growth and also regulates the apoptosis of cells. The retinoids also have anti-wrinkle properties, strengthen the functions of the epidermis, and restrain water loss. Retinoids are among the most common treatment medications for acne. The retinoids reduce the acne outbreak and prevent the dead cells from clogging the skin’s pores. These are also used in reducing minor scars on the skin. The retinol usually takes 6 or more weeks to experience the full result in the skin.

The oral medication route, under the route administration segment of the acne medication, is projected to attain maximum market share. The oral medicine for acne treatment contains various forms of antibiotics, isotretinoin, spironolactone, tretinoin, and tetracycline among others. Using antibiotics for acne treatments can decrease inflammation, and redness of the skin, and it also stops bacteria formation.

Similarly, the increase of online retail or e-commerce in the global landscape is also expected to boost the category in the acne treatment market.
