Any suggestions on what is better for clearing acne on oily/spot prone skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Benzoyl peroxide: Use this as you can tolerate it for two weeks. If you're not clear, get with your personal physician. Alternatives are salicylic acid and retinoic acid derivatives. Many people don't clear completely with these over-the-counter meds, and need an added prescription-strength Rx.
