Many options: Topical otc products such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, glycolic acid can help with mild acne. Stronger prescription topicals such as retinoids, topical antibiotics need to be obtained from a doctor. More severe acne usually required oral medications such as oral antibiotics or Accutane (isotreinoin).
