Hi i need some answers on reducing acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scientific Rx: None of the "pop / folk / holistic / lifestyle / diet" remedies work. The only over-the-counter stuff that's any good is benzoyl peroxide, and it's not that strong. This is the 21st century and you have right to effective rx. Fora man, i usually add topical clindamycin, plus a retinoic acid derivative if there are blackheads; adding a systemic antibiotic usually finishes the job; stronger rx exist.
