A member asked:
Is it effective to use advil (ibuprofen) tablets for acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't do it: Please forgive my frankness. This is the 21st century. All acne is treatable by today's science. Folk cures are at best adjuncts, at worst impediments to getting you help with a chronic disease that is a serious personal and professional liability. If topical benzoyl peroxide fails after 2 weeks, please get with a scientific physician for topical or systemic rx.
