Take a look at the traditional acne treatments. Most are not effective unless you have mild acne, and for that, the best acne remedy is benzoyl peroxide. For more serious cases of acne, a special acne diet is proving to be the best acne remedy available today.

Effective treatment of acne has been elusive. Dermatologists still don’t have a good understanding of what causes acne, let alone which pimple treatment is the best. Benzoyl peroxide gels and creams have been treating acne since their discovery in the 1920s and remain the most widespread acne solution, even though you would think our understanding of the condition of acne has improved greatly in the last nine decades.

In truth, most acne therapies, whether non-prescription or by prescription, are ineffective except in cases of very mild acne.
