Description
Aklief is a prescription acne treatment medication used to prevent acne for teenagers and it is formulated to be effective for both acne vulgaris and inflammatory acne. This acne solution can be used on the face, shoulders, chest, or back with equal effectiveness based on where the individual is experiencing acne resulting from sebaceous glands that are more active as a young person passes through puberty.
