What is the most effective non-prescription acne medication?

Helen of Troy asked:


I am a teenager and I get the normal whiteheads and the painful, long-lasting under-skin pimples as well. I have tried many types of acne medication and they have either been useless or made it worse. I have oily skin. My acne is not really severe, but it is still painful and embarrassing. What would be the best thing for me to use? Thank you so much!

How will multiple acne treatments affect my acne?

lauraandbeccy asked:


I am a teenager and I was prescribed by the dermatologist a list of acne medications including the following:
triaz 9% cleanser, evoclin foam, benzaclin cream, solodyn pills, and tazorac cream. I have been using all of these except the triaz for about 5 days, and I am worried what the triaz will do to my skin…I am starting my first day of school tomorrow–my junior year–and I don’t want to show up with my face peeling and flaking all day. Please give me a supportive answer…! :-/
I have reaaallly oily skin and i have used a bunch of acne medications before such as proactiv for about 3 years and it barely did anything and I am not going back to that. It did not irritate my face at all, but I have also tried the aspirin thing and it did not work. As I said, I am using everything right now except the triaz since I just got that from the pharmacy today, and my face at this moment is flaking a bit mostly around my chin/neck/mouth area.
I have used eucerin dermatologist recommended moisterizer lotion for a couple days while also using my medications.

mtgirl118 asked:


I am a teenager who needs help for acne medication. I am allgeric to benzoyl peroxide so I can not use ProActiv or Nature’s Cure. Are there any wellknown acne products that work that do not contain benzoyl peroxide? Thanks.

Pregnancy pimples but not sure about chemicals in acne treatments?

Daisy asked:


Okay I never had pimples as a teenager but now I’ve become pregnant pimples are becoming a problem for me.

I know there are sooo many treatments and creams out there but I need something without too many chemical because I’ve heard certain chemicals in acne creams are bad for bubs.

Does anyone know of any creams or at home treatments that work without chemicals?
