Over the counter medications for Acne


What over the counter medication can I use to treat my acne?

There is nothing over the counter that works. Salicylic acid, benzyl peroxide, topical antibiotics and all the soaps, are crap. Stop wasting your money on these fraudulent products-they do nothing.

If you have acne, go and see a skin doctor and get a script for a retinoid- ask for Retin A. It works, but it is expensive. If you are a female of childbearing age, the doctor may not always be willing to write you a script as the medication can cause birth defects. Therefore, you must have pregnancy test and cant get pregnant for at least 8-12 months, after stopping this medication. Nevertheless, it is the best drug for acne on the market.
