Trifarotene, sold under the brand name Aklief, is a medication for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris.[3][4] It is a retinoid;[3][5] more specifically, it is a fourth generation selective retinoic acid receptor (RAR)-γ agonist.[6]
Trifarotene was granted orphan drug designation for the treatment of congenital ichthyosis by both the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA).[7][8] It was approved for medical use in the United States in October 2019.[4][9][10] In December 2019, its labelling and package leaflet text received a decentralised approval for 16 European countries.[11] The current approval status in each of these 16 countries is unknown.
