Specializes in Family Medicine

Vichy…: …is a lab that produces acne products which have mixed reviews by customers. Clearasil, benzoyl peroxide, topical antibiotics, topical retinoids (vitamin a derivatives) may be enough for mild cases. If not, consult with fp or dermatologist, who may prescribe oral antibiotics or stronger meds for severe cases.
