The Pill: If for some reason you have an aversion to topical medications, many women for whom the benefits and risks of the oral contraceptive pill are acceptable can find a formulation along with their physician that will clear acne. Good luck!

Combination Therapy: Adult acne can be challenging to treat. Each person responds differently of cleansers, creams, antibiotic therapy, or hormonal therapy. A 3 month course of low dose antibiotics can be of great benefit, if taken bcp is not an option. Have your skin evaluated by a dermatologist and discuss what would be best for you.
