| ACNE SOLUTIONS |
| For people of all ages, acne can be embarrassing and socially stressful. For normal acne, chemists and dermatologists continue to develop increasingly effective acne solutions such as combination therapies of retinoids and topical or oral antibiotics. (Some acne solutions are now formulated for specific types of skin.) For severe cystic acne, a prescription medication, Isotretinoin, can be highly effective under your dermatologist's careful monitoring. Please view Dr. Derick's short video, Acne Solutions to learn more. |

| Dr. Amy Derick's Acne Treatment Included in The Lancet |
| Dr. Derick's successful treatment of a patient with severe acne was recently published in the prestigious medical journal, The Lancet, which is considered to be the world's leading, oldest and most respected publication of its kind. Dr. Derick’s contribution comprised part of an “acne seminar” commissioned by The Lancet editors to educate the world's physicians. Before and after photographs of Dr. Derick's patient, who was treated with Isotretinoin, can be viewed below. |

| DAILY PROTECTION FROM UV LIGHT |
Dr. Derick reminds everyone that, even as temperatures drop, wearing sunscreen should still be a daily habit. Anytime you are outdoors, remember to apply one-ounce of broad-spectrum (UVA and UVB protection) sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 to the face and body--and re-apply it every two hours.
