I am a teenager who needs help for acne medication. I am allgeric to benzoyl peroxide so I can not use ProActiv or Nature's Cure. Are there any wellknown acne products that work that do not contain benzoyl peroxide? Thanks.

Hi I have tried Retin A cream, micro, Proactiv and OTC benzoyl peroxide they are all horrible. Ask your doctor/dermatologist for prescription DIFFERIN GEL it is really great. In about three weeks your skin will be really clear and if you put in on at night after washing you will notice that in the morning any spots aren't as red. I didn't have all the horrible drying and peeling associated with Retin A or Benzoyl Peroxide. It also prevents wrinkles I was told. I am over 25 and have been using it for like 7 years it's great...I have clean clear skin and I always get told I look way younger than I am and that's a bonus! Give it a try and good luck ;-)

Many drugstore brand products like Neutrogena, Clean and Clear, etc. contain salicylic acid, rather than benzoyl peroxide, which is the main fighting ingredient for acne in those brands.

Right now my skin is perfectly clear, for the first time in 3 years. It's been about 9 weeks and all my acne is gone. It is such a great feeling to wake up with clear skin.

Just so you know in college must people will not even look at you there's other things on their minds and when they want to hook up they're ****** up at a party but you should go to a dermatologist and he will give you an antibiotic I got accutane 10mg for 6 months and my face was cleared up granted I took it cause my dad asked if I wanted it but my acne wasn't that bad

Sono guarito definitavamente dal mio problema con l'acne grazie a questo programma http://acne.toptips.org
Subito dopo averlo provato l'ho consigliato a tutti i miei amici che soffrivano del mio stesso problema ed ha funzionato anche su di loro!
infatti proprio per questo ora mi sono tutti molto riconoscienti :)
L'unica cosa che mi è dispiaciuta è di non averlo scoperto prima, perchè se solo penso a quanti soldi ho speso in questi anni tra visite dal medico e creme mi viene da star male :(

They are actually MANY other types of medication that does not contain BP.
Okay personally, I recommend T3 (Tea Tree).
It's natural and doesn't damage your skin, and it's really hard to get allergic to NATURAL stuff, right? =)

Retin A is really the best.
Go to the dermatologist or doctor to get a perscription.
ony spot treat, don't put it on your entire face.
If you can't afford it, go to the county hospital and get a generic brand, it works well.

to four times a day it also helps to control oily areas
