When you talk to your doctor, you'll learn there are many
medicines that can be used to help improve your acne:
- Topical acne medicines are applied directly to the skin; oral acne medicines are taken by mouth
- Some medicines combine two ingredients — such as benzoyl peroxide and an antibiotic like clindamycin — to help to fight acne
- Your doctor can determine which medicine may be right for your type of acne
It's important to use your medicine as prescribed for as long as
your doctor recommends. Do not use other topical products unless directed by your doctor.
