      Asian Phototypes: Improving Treatment Outcomes and Managing Side Effects.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Acne vulgaris (acne) is a common inflammatory skin disorder prevalent 
      among all ethnic groups. This review aimed to investigate the current literature 
      regarding the potential benefit of over-the-counter (OTC) adjuncts (eg, 
      moisturizers, cleansers) for acne patients focusing on Asian phenotypes. METHODS: 
      An online procedure was employed to review the role of adjunctive OTC acne 
      treatment. A panel consisting of dermatologists with expertise in treating Asian 
      acne patients participated in a pre-meeting survey that collected information 
      regarding their recommendation habits for OTC products in acne patients. 
      Recommendations on using OTC products as an adjunct for treating acne in Asians 
      are based on the pre-meeting survey results, evidence from literature presented 
      during a series of plenary lectures, and discussions conducted during a stepwise 
      program of sessions. RESULTS: Many topical treatments have been associated with 
      adverse events (AEs) (eg, skin dryness, erythema, scaling, stinging, burning, 
      pruritus). Multiple studies on topical acne treatments have found that Asians 
      display greater sensitivity and less tolerability than Caucasians to acne 
      treatment. Skincare as an adjunct to acne treatment may reduce dryness or 
      irritation, particularly important in Asians with acne. CONCLUSIONS: Advisors 
      agreed that cleansers and moisturizers should be considered for their beneficial 
      adjunctive role in the armamentarium of acne treatment and maintenance 
      strategies. J Drugs Dermatol. 2021;20(11): 1213-1221. doi:10.36849/JDD.6259.
