You're right that there are some very effective prescription treatments that aren't shown, but it doesn't seem like prescription acne treatments are the usually the appropropriate / doctor prescribed choice for most people facing mild to moderate acne.

Personally, my pediatrician told me that acne is just something that happens to teens and recommended that I go try some acne washes from the drugstore instead of prescribing something like Tretinoin which could have some pretty intense side effects.

Reading r/SkincareAddiction has been really helpful for me, especially seeing the range of experiences that people have had, and that's why we made Lumona summarize these results.
