Acne Cream

Most of the acne cream treatments have benzoyl peroxide as their main component. Examples of popular treatments are: Oxy and Clearasil. It is recommended to use these in small amounts (just like creams with alcohol as their main ingredient) because too high concentration levels of benozyl peroxide would only make things worse because it can make the skin flaky and dry.

Prescription Acne Creams

If you have a serious acne condition, a prescription acne cream treatment that is more powerful may be the solution. Examples are: Differin (containing adalapene), and Retin A (containing tretinoin), that make skin wrinkle and line free but these have side effects such as scaling, skin burning and sensitivity to the sun as well as dryness.
