I’ve discovered that the best acne treatments have a few things in common.  First, they use proven ingredients.  There are a few effective ingredients, but the best acne treatments will use at least one of them. Retinoids (derived from Vitamin A) and Benzoyl Peroxide are two ingredients that tend to yield results.  Some treatments also use microdermabrasion and chemical peels to help unclog pores and get rid of dead skin cells.  Aside from using effective ingredients, the best acne treatments also recommend being used as a part of a system of face-washing, toning, and moisturizing.   This kind of holistic approach is more likely to lead to good results.
