No quick fixes: If 2 weeks on benzoyl peroxide doesn't clear you, get with your physicain. You may be a rx for a topical retinoic acid derivative (good of many blackheads), the oral contraceptive pill (if you're female), topical clindamycin, a systemic antibiotic such as tetracycline, or a dermatology referral for possible isotretinoin. All acne is manageable today; it's not a hygiene or lifestyle problem.
