Abstract

Acne is a common skin disease with important psychosocial impact. Often inadequate compliance affects the efficacy of the therapy. Because of emerging use of mobile and electronic health technology, the recent literature evaluated the helpfulness of the tools in medication adherence. The first goal of our study was to evaluate the adherence to therapy with topical adapalene 0.3%/benzoyl peroxide (A-BPO) 2.5% in different groups of patients who received explicative information supported by different strategies. The second goal was to evaluate the patient's quality of life and skin parameters.
