Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Absolute Change in Lesion Counts (LCs) From Baseline to Week 12
Baseline (Week 0/Day 1) and Week 12

LC: count of all inflammatory lesions (ILs, i.e., papules, pustules, and nodules) and non-inflammatory lesions (NILs, i.e., open and closed comedones) at Baseline and at Week 12. Total lesions (TLs) were calculated as the sum of ILs and NILs. LC was confined to the face (including forehead, nose, checks, and chin). Change from Baseline at Week 12 was calculated as the value at Week 12 minus the value at Baseline.

Number of Participants With a Minimum 2-grade (G) Improvement in the Investigator Static Global Assessment (ISGA) Score From Baseline at Week 12
Baseline (Week 0/Day 1) and Week 12

Investigators evaluated the acne severity (S) of the participants' face using the ISGA scale, ranging from 0 to 5: 0=clear skin with no ILs or NILs; 1=almost clear: rare NIL with no more than rare papules; 2=mild S: \>G 1, some NILs with no more than a few ILs (papules/pustules only, no nodular lesions \[NLs\]); 3=moderate S: \>G 2, up to many NILs and may have some ILs, but no more than one small NL; 4=severe: greater than G 3, up to many NILs and ILs, but no more than a few NLs; 5=very severe: many NILs and ILs and more than a few NLs, may have cystic lesions.

Number of Participants With an ISGA Score of 0 or 1 at Week 12
Week 12

Investigators evaluated the acne severity (S) of the participants' face using the ISGA scale, ranging from 0 to 5: 0=clear skin with no ILs or NILs; 1=almost clear: rare NIL with no more than rare papules; 2=mild S: \>G 1, some NILs with no more than a few ILs (papules/pustules only, no nodular lesions \[NLs\]); 3=moderate S: \>G 2, up to many NILs and may have some ILs, but no more than one small NL; 4=severe: greater than G 3, up to many NILs and ILs, but no more than a few NLs; 5=very severe: many NILs and ILs and more than a few NLs, may have cystic lesions.

Inflammatory skin responses
Induction: Baseline-Week 3 - every 48 to 72 hours; Challenge: Week 6 - after 48 hours, then again at 24, 48, and 72 hours; if indicated a second challenge: Week 9 after 48 hours, then at 24, 48, and 72 hours following patch removal)

Patch sites will be evaluated for signs of inflammatory skin responses (e.g. erythema, edema, papules) and superficial effects
