Several things: Use acne cleansing wash twice a day (morning and night) Use benzoyl peroxide lotion to all areas affected (not just on pimples but whole face, chest, back...where ever affected) very thin film in the morning. Want to use exfoliating lotion after washing each evening (retin A (tretinoin) containing lotion). This is good way to start. KEEP AT IT. Must do every day. Should see results after 3-4 weeks.

Serious Rx: My colleague has recommended the two best basic remedies and they are your best friends. Around half of acne patients will get a satisfactory result. The others will need at least a short course of prescription-strength Rx. Don't hesitate to get help from your personal physician.
