Inclusion Criteria
  1. Male or female at least 9 years of age and older;

  3. Subject must have a score of 3 (moderate) or 4 (severe) on the Evaluator's Global Severity Score (EGSS) assessment at the baseline visit;
  4. Subjects with facial acne inflammatory lesion (papules, pustules, and nodules) count no less than 20 but no more than 50;
  5. Subjects with facial acne non-inflammatory lesion (open and closed comedones) count no less than 25 but no more than 100;
  6. Subjects with two or fewer facial nodules
Exclusion Criteria
  1. Use of an investigational drug or device within 30 days of enrollment or participation in a research study concurrent with this study;
  2. Any dermatological conditions on the face that could interfere with clinical evaluations such as acne conglobata, acne fulminans, secondary acne, perioral dermatitis, clinically significant rosacea, gram-negative folliculitis, dermatitis, eczema;
  3. Any underlying disease(s) or some other dermatological condition of the face that requires the use of interfering topical or systemic therapy or makes evaluations and lesion count inconclusive;

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Absolute Change in Mean Lesion Counts at Week 12Baseline to Week 12

For noninflammatory facial lesions, open comedones (blackheads) and closed comedones (whiteheads) were recorded as a single count. For inflammatory facial lesions, papules (solid, elevated lesion less than 5 mm) and pustules (elevated lesion containing pus less than 5 mm) were recorded as a single count, while nodular lesions (palpable subcutaneous lesion greater than 5 mm) were counted and recorded separately.

Percentage of Subjects Who Had at Least a 2-grade Reduction From Baseline at Week 12 in the Evaluator's Global Severity Score (EGSS) and Had an EGSS at Week 12 That Equated to "Clear" or "Almost Clear"Baseline to Week 12

Evaluator's Global Severity Score (EGSS) was determined based on evaluator-blinded evaluations of the signs and symptoms of acne vulgaris. Evaluations were scored on a scale of 0-4, with 0 being clear and 4 being severe.

Percentage Change in Mean Lesion Counts at Week 8Baseline to Week 8

For noninflammatory facial lesions, open comedones (blackheads) and closed comedones (whiteheads) were recorded as a single count. For inflammatory facial lesions, papules (solid, elevated lesion less than 5 mm) and pustules (elevated lesion containing pus less than 5 mm) were recorded as a single count, while nodular lesions (palpable subcutaneous lesion greater than 5 mm) were counted and recorded separately.
