Acne Medication, Remove Acne

Medication containing benzoyl peroxide is the recommended first choice for self-treatment. The medication is used on all acne prone areas of the skin (except eyes, lips, and the corners of the mouth, which are too sensitive) even if there are no pimples present. It is designed to prevent as well as treat acne and should be used even when the face is clear. The skin should have a slight feeling of dryness without peeling of discomfort. The side effects include burning, excessive drying and redness.
