🎙️✨ New Acne Data Just Dropped — and We’re Bringing the Post-Game Analysis from AAD 2026! 🏀

Live from Denver — the Mile High City — the Skin and Joints Podcast is breaking down new 52-week real-world acne data exploring the impact of clascoterone 1% on sebum reduction, acne improvement, tolerability, and what it actually means in day-to-day dermatology practice.

Because let’s be honest: in acne care, it’s not just about lesion counts. Patients care about oiliness, shine, pores, irritation, post-inflammatory marks, and whether their treatment routine feels like a science experiment before bed.

In this episode, Dr. Renée A. Beach and Dr. Irina Oroz (and a mystery guest co-host ;)) join the conversation to unpack the clinical relevance of the data — and why “treat-to-happy” might just be the endpoint patients really care about.

We also get into the practical side:
✅How do you layer clascoterone with retinoids?
✅What does sebum reduction actually mean in clinic?
✅Is “zero irritation” too good to be true — or reflective of real-world experience?
✅And most importantly… is it pronounced sebometer or sebumeter?

From male acne patients who now have a topical anti-androgen option, to patients who have tried everything, to those who need a tolerable long-term acne strategy — this episode explores where the data meets the real world.

Learning Objectives:
✅ Review new 52-week data on clascoterone 1% and sebum reduction in acne
✅ Discuss the clinical relevance of sebum, shine, oiliness, and patient-reported treatment success
✅ Evaluate long-term acne outcomes including IGA success, inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesion reduction, and tolerability
✅ Explore practical strategies for layering clascoterone with retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, and combo topical therapies
✅ Identify patient profiles who may benefit from topical anti-androgen therapy in real-world practice
