What is a good acne product that works good and does not my skin burn or turn red?

Your options: If you're a female, the oral contraceptive pill and spironolactone are options. If not, or if they fail, a trial of 2.5% topical benzoyl peroxide plus topical clindamycin might do the trick, otherwise plus a systemic tetracycline. You need to be rid of your acne -- it 's a major social and professional liability -- and you may have to accept redness and discomfort.
