Which benzoyl peroxide gel is better for blackheads ? basiron ac 5 % or benzoyl peroxide gel 2.5 % ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A retinoid: The best product to get rid of blackheads and prevent the formation of new ones is a retinoid. There are several of them such as differin, tazorac (tazarotene) and various forms of generic retin-a.Since all of them are available by prescription only you need to see your family doctor or a dermatologist to get them. They all can cause dryness so you should start them possibly every other night and then increase.
