The Acne Solution Core is a prescription gel built around three active ingredients that work on acne from different angles:
- Adapalene — a retinoid that keeps pores clear and helps calm the inflammation behind breakouts
- Clindamycin phosphate — targets acne-causing bacteria on the skin
- Niacinamide — supports the skin barrier and helps with redness and oil
It's rounded out with two supporting ingredients: Centella Asiatica extract, which soothes, and ceramides, which help your barrier hold onto moisture so the actives are easier to tolerate.
The gel comes in three strengths — 0.3%, 1%, and 2%. You don't pick the strength yourself, and there's no upcharge for a higher one. After you complete your medical intake, a board-certified dermatologist reviews your case and decides which strength fits your skin, your history, and how much your skin can handle from the start.
