Abstract
Topical trifarotene (Aklief®) is a first-in-class, fourth-generation retinoid [selective retinoic acid receptor (RAR)-γ agonist] being developed by Galderma Research and Development LLC for the treatment of acne vulgaris. In October 2019 trifarotene received its first global approval in the USA for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris in patients 9 years of age and older. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of trifarotene leading to its first global approval for acne vulgaris.
