Just for Guys
Most people — including guys — develop acne at some point during their teenage
years, so you're not alone. If you're looking to treat your acne, read on.
Talk to your parents (yeah, them)
Talking to your parents isn't always easy, but if treating your acne is important to you,
you should let them know that you want to see a dermatologist or your family doctor.
Print this page as a way to start the conversation. Your parents can get you an appointment.
See a dermatologist
Even though guys and girls are just as likely to get acne, fewer guys visit dermatologists
to talk about treatment. Don't be one of them. A dermatologist is an expert in skincare
and can recommend the best treatment for you, even if you only have mild acne.

Ask about prescription BenzaClin®
BenzaClin® can produce clearer skin in as little as 2 weeks. BenzaClin® is a
combination of benzoyl peroxide and clindamycin in one gel that is effective against
blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples. Your doctor can tell you if BenzaClin® is
right for you and how to use it.
Stick with your treatment
You may see results with BenzaClin® in as little as 2 weeks, but it's important
to continue treating your acne and following your doctor's instructions for as long as
he or she recommends.
Get in the habit of treating acne as part of your daily
routine — even snap a photo of yourself once a week so you can look back and judge your
progress.
