What Over The Counter Products Are Recommended For Mild To Moderate Acne Control?
im a 24 year old male, and have been of the acne medication for Monocycline for over a year now. my acne is not as bad as it use to be and many peopel recommend using products containing syscilic acid to control it. what exactly is this acid and what over the counter products is recommended for mild to moderate acne control?
Acne is a hormonal disorder.
It is common and treatable.
You can take oral medications like minocycline.
Also you can apply benzoyl peroxide cream overnight.
Keep the area clean and dry. You can use medicated face wash like SLC face wash.
It contains salycylic acid.
It better to visit a dermatologist before taking these medication.
I encourage you to visit a qualified dermatologist for proper advise and treatment.
Hope this helps.
