Acne treatments: Benzoyl peroxide is a good beginning but u should realize it comes in different strengths (5%, 10%) and different bases (solution,cream,gel). And you can use it more than once per day if U R not getting results that U want. Then there R prescription products (tretinoin) which you get from a doc with the same as above caveats. Then there are combos of above. Check out www.mayoclinic.com
