Primary	Percent Change From Baseline in Total Lesions at Week 12	Percent change from baseline in total lesions at week 12 was assessed by investigator or designee. Investigator or designee counted and recorded the number of open comedones, closed comedones, papules, and pustules on each subject's face. Lesions were counted globally on the following facial locations/quadrants: forehead, left cheek, chin, and right cheek. Each of the following lesion types were analyzed separately for forehead, left cheek, chin, right cheek, and the total of the 4 areas: Inflammatory acne lesions (sum of papules and pustules); Non-inflammatory acne lesions (sum of open comedones and closed comedones); Total lesion counts (sum of inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne lesions counts)	Baseline and 12 weeks
