The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the RV3278B-OS0386 cosmetic product, compared to the control product in managing acne relapse during the 12-month maintenance phase follow-up after oral isotretinoin treatment in adult subjects with facial acne.
This study is conducted as a multicentric, randomized, blinded, comparative study in Europe. A total number of 102 subjects included and randomized in 2 parallel groups: * Test group: twice daily application of the RV3278B-OS0386 cosmetic product on the whole face * Control group: twice daily application of the RV3278B-OS0548 cosmetic product on the whole face Subjects will be followed at regular intervals for up to 12 months or until the relapse of their acne on the face, whichever occurs first. 6 visits are planned: * Visit 1 (Day 1): Inclusion, Randomization and start of product * Visit 2 (month 1) * Visit 3 (month 3) * Visit 4 (month 6) * Visit 5 (month 9) * Visit 6 (month 12): End of study Visit In case of subject's acne relapse confirmed by the investigator, subject will be withdrawn from the study.
