Peroxide(doctors order), using hibiclens, st. ives apricot scrub, but nothing helped acne, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Real Rx: What you are describing are basically worthless for acne. You will probably need a combination of topical benzoyl peroxide or retinoids and plus a systemic Rx such as an antibiotic for a short time. Try just the Topicals first.
