Best adult acne treatment?
I am 23 and have adult acne. I have tried just about everything on the drugstore shelves. I have also tried proactiv (which made my skin worse) and murad. Anybody have any suggestions?

Acne treatments such as benzoyl peroxide, topical antibiotics, alpha- and beta-hydroxy acid creams, and tretinoin
For acne-prone skin, try one of these:
* Clinique’s Acne Solutions Cleansing Foam
* Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Cleanser
* Topix Benzoyl Peroxide 5% Wash
I am not sure that adult acne is any different to the raging acne of the hormone bounced adolescent. Just not as bad. In fact I get a small pimple 1ce per month. I am 50 and male. Sigh.
I think the same advice is for nearly all acne: Clean skin with soapy water or an organic cleanser. You should do this twice a day even when you have no zits. The benzoyl peroxide (10%) creams are the most effective but are very hard on the skin. Most commercial products like Proactiv are based on this – whichever one is cheapest.
Creams with tea tree oil (like ones by Thursday Plantation and Sanctum from Australia in the region where the tea tree oil comes from) work nearly as well but do not hurt the skin. They may take 3 or 4 applications to work compared to 2 or 3 for the peroxide. They are found in health food shops.
When adult acne is treated in a doctor’s office it’s called "acne surgery". When done at home, it’s called squeezing pimples. It gets immediate results — but when you squeeze pimples at home, you are begging for infection and scars. And squeezing or picking at pimples is a great way to get your acne to spread. Don’t do it! Doctors use a special sterile instrument to prevent scarring, infection, and acne spread.
Or you can check out the skin care products aisle at your local drug store. If you’ve ever tried to buy acne remedies, you know the drug store is loaded with all kinds of products. Which ones should you use? It’s not an easy choice, says dermatologist Julie Anne Winfield, Mill Valley, Calif.
"Which treatment is best depends on which type of acne you have," Winfield tells WebMD. "It may well be worth a visit to dermatologist. They often have samples they could give you to try. People can spend a fortune on over-the-counter medicines when there is maybe one single prescription drug that could solve the problem. Be sure to use oil-free, non-comedogenic lotions or sunscreens. Use something very simple to wash your face with, as well as low-strength benzoyl peroxide. But it would be best to see a doctor to prevent possible acne scarring."
