Depends on the type: Acne comes in varying types all with degrees of severity. The type of acne you have will help your doctor determine which treatment may help best. Benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid treatments will often help with whiteheads and black heads. Retinoids and topical or oral antibiotics may also be needed. See a dermatologist to help determine the best starting point for you.

Acne care: Lifestyle changes can help with acne such as cleansing your skin with mild, nondrying soap and cleansers. Try to eat healthy (organic fruits and vegetables), adequate water intake, exercise daily, get plenty of rest and lower your stress. Use non comedeogenic sunscreens and makeup. We recommend the skin clear facial wash and skin clear facial gel from cosmo grade professional skincare.
