A common drug for the treatment of wrinkles is now being used to help reduce the appearance of acne scars. Monash University Professor Greg Goodman told Nine News that Botox, derived from Botulism bacterium, helped smooth the appearance of skin pitted by acne scars by relaxing the surrounding muscles. “If it happens to be that you’re contracting a muscle that is pulling the scar apart a bit, Botox can help to ease that, relax that area so it doesn’t have so much stress on the existing scar tissue,” Professor Goodman told Nine News reporter Gabriella Rogers.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the lotion formulation of adapalene (Differin 0.1 percent, Galderma) for the topical treatment of acne in patients age 12 and older, Medscape Today reports.FDA approval was based on data from two 12-week, multicenter clinical trials of 2,141 patients with 20 to 50 inflammatory and 30 to 100 noninflammatory acne lesions at baseline. Results showed that use of adapalene 0.1 percent lotion yielded significant reductions in the total number of lesions, inflammatory lesions and noninflammatory lesions compared with the vehicle alone.
