A member asked:

Hi i use a lot of cream and face wash but my acne is not going please tell me some thing?

See a dermatologist.: Antibiotics and benzoyl peroxide have yielded consistently excellent results for more than 50 years. A dermatologist will give you prescriptions for the combination that works best for you. Don't waste your money on otc creams & soaps; they don't work, and will only delay resolution and increase your risk of permanent scarring.
