A member asked:

Please advise what is the best face wash and acne treatment?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If you must ask...: You probably need something stronger. The washes with plenty of salicylic acid are the ones to choose, or simply apply 5% benzoyl peroxide 2x/day. If you're not clear in two weeks, get with your personal physician.
