Recommendations to consider for individual patient features – sensitive skin and seborrhea/oiliness

Individual patient feature	Considerations
Sensitive skin	•Formulation (17/17), vehicle (16/17), concentration (15/17), and application frequency (13/17) of topical treatment; general skincare (eg, use of cleanser and/or moisturizing cream) (17/17); concomitant medication (17/17); concomitant disease (eg, rosacea) (14/17); and lifestyle triggers (eg, exercise) (14/17)
	•Lower frequency of application than usual at treatment initiation (17/17), use of lower concentrations than usual at treatment initiation (15/17), and increasing frequency of application more slowly (15/17) to minimize potential skin irritation
	•Appropriate topical formulations for patients with sensitive skin include creams (16/17) and lotions (13/17)
High degree of seborrhea/oiliness	•Selecting a treatment that reduces sebum levels as well as active acne lesions (16/17), recommending adjunctive treatments such as cleansers and moisturizers (16/17), and the choice of topical vehicle (16/16)
	•Appropriate topical formulations for patients with a high degree of seborrhea/oiliness include gels (17/17) and foams (13/17)
