Scientific Rx: If topical benzoyl peroxide 5% 2x/day has not cleared you in two weeks, your physician has medication that can. It may take a little time to find the right rx. If you're offered the oral contraceptive pill (women) or Isotretinoin (not for the faint-hearted), consider accepting.

See dermatologist: Wash face w gentle cleanser 2x/day & use oil free products. No oily hair or heavy foundations. Try not to pop pimples. Avoid touching face (cradling chin in hands). Remove makeup before bed. Shower after strenuous exercise. Consider OTC products (salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide). Retinoids/ comedone extractor can be helpful for black heads. If > mild acne see dermatology.
