Containing benzoyl peroxide and/or various acids in a cream, lotion or gel will do the trick. The key, however, may be to purchase several different products and rotate them. Every type of acne are different. Tretment by using of antibioticum - peroral using of azithromycin, doxycyclin. For ance papulopustulozis treatment by isotretinoin - not using for pregnant woman. Cream or lotion with adapalen, clindamycin lotion. Isotretinoin gel....

If you want to get rid of your acne. First you have to know the specific skincare that u need to use. If your skin is more oily or more on normal. Usually the skincare that is most available for acne skin combinations skin care. Some they have specific label for acne. But, mostly for white heads and acne oily skin the Gel type cream is more recommended since it will not make your skin oily. It’s more on water base. To help your skin repair the break out or skincare with salicylic to dry the pimples quickly.
