Acne Treatment: A Complete Guide

Acne is a common skin condition in which pores become clogged by skin cells and sebum (oil), allowing bacteria to grow and triggering inflammation in the skin. The result is the development of acne lesions or pimples. Many treatments can resolve acne or help you avoid or minimize scarring.

 

Reach out to a board-certified dermatologist (a doctor who specializes in skin health) before starting or combining treatments to discuss the best options for you.

Treating acne may involve over-the-counter (OTC) or prescription medications, or both, depending on the cause and severity of your acne.

Salicylic Acid

Salicylic acid is a common ingredient in OTC topical acne medications. It helps break down pimples and remove dead skin cells that can plug pores.
