Therapeutic Dermatology
Aklief® is the only formula in the world that delivers
the newest and most precise retinoid molecule,
trifarotene, that rapidly clears acne blemishes and
refines acne-prone skin, and is effective for both
facial and truncal acne. In Europe, Aklief (trifarotene
50 mcg/g cream) is indicated for the cutaneous
treatment of acne vulgaris of the face and/or trunk
presenting many comedones, papules and pustules.
It is approved for patients 12 years of age and above.
Trifarotene, its key ingredient, helps the skin replace
its old skin cells at a faster rate, exfoliating away the
old cells in the process and helping prevent new acne
from forming.

Results from our latest START study demonstrate


a statistically significant reduction in total atrophic
acne scar count with trifarotene cream compared
to vehicle treatment as early as week two, with
a progressive and statistically significant difference
up to week 24. Aklief is part of Galderma’s unique
acne portfolio including dermatological skincare,
over-the-counter (OTC), topical and oral
prescription brands.
