Ok there are a lot of acne medications and other products out there many are easy to find at stores and pharmacies others need to be prescribed by dermatologists. There are a lot of competitions with brands, and I have noticed that most of them have the same active ingredients which are:
Benzoyl peroxide and Salicylic Acid
and each product has different concentrations like 1.0%, 2.5%, 10% etc, which makes me assume that the bigger the concentration the stronger the medicine is.
Does the brand matter or the active ingredients that contain the product to make it effective?
Because I have seen brands like Neutrogena, Noxema, Clearasil, Olay etc which are examples of popular acne medicines but I have also seen products of way cheaper brands but with bigger concentrations.
Like today I bough a blemish control creme of an unknown product at $1.50 that contains a 10% concentration of Benzoyl peroxide but I don't know if it's as effective as my other recognized medications.
