A member asked:

Can you please recommend some effective products i should try to help acne/pimples?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Benzoyl peroxide: Your best over-the-counter option. If it's not adequate, get with your personal physician. Acne is a chronic disease that eventually remits on its own. Until then, you can form an alliance with your physician to keep it at bay.
