What is the first line treatment for moderate acne?

Benzoyl Peroxide (BPO) and/or retinoid
Topical combination + Oral antibiotics
PO Isotretinoin
Benzoyl Peroxide + Retinoid + Topical Antibiotic

The correct answer is: Benzoyl Peroxide + Retinoid + Topical Antibiotic

The correct answer is D: Benzoyl Peroxide + Retinoid + Topical Antibiotic. Moderate acne is typically treated with a combination regimen that targets different aspects of the condition. Benzoyl Peroxide helps to reduce inflammation and unclog pores, while retinoids promote skin cell turnover and prevent new clogs from forming. Adding a topical antibiotic helps to reduce the presence of acne-causing bacteria on the skin. This combination therapy is effective in treating moderate acne by targeting multiple factors contributing to the condition. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not include the combination of benzoyl peroxide, retinoid, and topical antibiotic, which is considered the first-line treatment for moderate acne.
