A member asked:

What are good brands to get rid of oily skin and acne?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need not be fancy: Topical agents that are inexpensive and need not be "name brand" include benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, and the retinoic acid derivatives. If one of these used as tolerated has not cleared you in two weeks, get with your personal physician.
