Finding
The review names retinoids, antibiotics and benzoyl peroxide as the main treatment options for acne, and states that a retinoid with benzoyl peroxide is safe and effective without contributing to antibiotic resistance. (Its own trial data is eight adapalene/benzoyl-peroxide trials and is adapalene/BPO specific.)
