About Acne Cleansers.

The term "acne cleansers" refers to a formulation and administrative product grouping rather than a distinct, formal therapeutic drug class.

Regulated primarily under the over-the-counter framework for topical acne drug products, these rinse-off formulations incorporate established active ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or sulfur.

They function by combining surfactant-mediated removal of excess sebum and cellular debris with pharmacologic actions including comedolysis, desquamation, and reduction of cutaneous *Cutibacterium acnes* proliferation.

Their primary therapeutic role is in the prevention and management of mild to moderate acne vulgaris.
