A member asked:

Any recommendations for skincare products to use if one has a case of acne and pimple breakouts?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Benzoyl peroxide: Use this as your most important skin care product, in a dose and frequency that you can tolerate. It is not pleasant but it's the best for someone with acne. If you are not clear in two weeks, get with your personal physician.
