Unclogs pores and removes excess oil, helping to prevent future breakouts.
Reduces the size and number of inflamed acne lesions for smoother, clearer skin.
Effective for both inflamed and non-inflamed acne, improving overall skin texture.

Choosing the Right Acne Treatment

If you need a diagnosis, you can use our Express Consultation Form

Understanding that the cause and severity of acne varies among individuals is essential. Hence, the optimal treatment might differ for each person. Below is a list of alternative treatments:

Over-the-Counter (OTC) Options:

Salicylic Acid Products: Useful for unclogging pores. Available as cleansers, toners, and spot treatments.
Benzoyl Peroxide: A popular ingredient in many OTC acne products. It helps reduce acne-causing bacteria and can mitigate inflammation.
Alpha Hydroxy Acids: Effective in removing dead skin cells and unclogging pores.
Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser: A formula that's friendly to all skin types, helping eliminate excess oil without causing dryness.
Cetaphil Moisturising Lotion: Offers hydration suitable for all skin types.
Aveeno Cream and Lotion: Enriched with colloidal oatmeal, renowned for its calming properties.

Prescription Products:

Differin 0.1% Gel and Cream: Contains adapalene, a kind of retinoid, known for its pore-unclogging and anti-inflammatory properties.
Duac Gel (3% & 5%): Features benzoyl peroxide and clindamycin, an antibiotic effective in curbing bacteria growth.
Skinoren 20% Cream: Packed with azelaic acid, which showcases anti-inflammatory and comedolytic properties.
Oral Antibiotics: Examples include Doxycycline, Oxytetracycline, and Minocycline. They work by reducing bacteria and inflammation.
Oral Contraceptives: Like Dianette and Eloine, they can manage hormones that trigger acne in females.
Spironolactone: Originally designed for high blood pressure treatment, but it can also address acne in women by counteracting the effects of androgens on the skin.
