SummaryIn a single-blind trial, 44 patients were treated with tretinoin solution and 44 patients were treated with benzoyl peroxide lotion for acne vulgaris for not less than 12 weeks. Both treatments were shown to have a beneficial effect. The improvements, as judged by patients' and clinical assessment and lesion count, were more marked in patients receiving tretinoin solution. Few side-effects were reported with either treatment.
