Acne is usually perceived to be a disease with only physical effects but it also has mental effects, mainly in youths. Most teenagers for certain feel awkward and mismatched. Most of the teenagers who suffer with acne tend to possess weaker confidence, than their peers.

Some of the main stream medications for acne include over the counter (OTC) acne treatment products, homemade remedies for acne, prescription acne medication and laser acne treatments. You are probably aware of a lot of OTC acne treatments. Skin specialists and dermatologists believe that among OTC acne treatments, products with benzoyl peroxide are the most effective acne treatment products, so what lead dermatologists to believe this?, Well, it is the fact that benzoyl peroxide is effective in controlling excess oil that clog the pores of your skin which in turn causes acne, benzoyl peroxide also fights the bacteria that causes acne. For a lenient skin condition an OTC acne treatment product with 2.5% concentration of bezoyl peroxide is good, though it shall also work for severe acne but would take a relatively longer time to show some progress. It is also a good idea to use an over the counter chemical exfoliant such as salicylic acid or glycolic acid to regularly remove dead skin cells by exfoliating. If you do not find benzoyl peroxide effective enough you can try other products that have sulfur or resorcinol.
