Introduction. Acne is one of the most common skin diseases in dermatology
practice. Progressing the course of acne, tolerance for therapy, cosmetic deficiencies
dramatically reduce the quality of life of patients, cause significant discomfort and
psycho-emotional disorders.

cosmetological, endocrine, gastroenterological and immunological components of the
disease.
Therefore, in this work, was made an analysis of modern remedies and methods
for treatment and prevention of acne with the purpose of choosing the most optimal
