Question: Antibiotics or/and benzoyl peroxide for acne treatment?

(Posted by: Hana Smith on 2010-02-27 18:10:22)

I was wondering if antibiotics and benzoyl peroxide are commonly used as acne treatments? and if you have to get both prescribed by a doctor or can you get either (or something similar) in shops? also will you definitely get them prescribed or does it have to be severe acne? roughly how much do they cost? and i want to know how effective they are. Thank you : )

BP are not good, it can harrash acne. It is often found at store and prescrible by dr, because it still kill at the same time . But it not great as I heard , so to be in safe of effect, you should go for jobajo oil, witch hazel, rosewater oil, essentail oil and mix with ovile oil they are what called "ogranic oil " that is effet safer than those store-bought blemish . It is just like Tree tea oil you heard, it good? it high in axitodate , so it is also similar to what I listed. BP is just chemicals filled , but antibiotic is extermly safe and FINE it only do a job in killing germs.

Benzoyl peroxides are available over the counter and can be very effective. They are commonly used along with antibiotics for acne. The antibiotics may be topical or oral. The acne must be bad enough to warrant the oral antibiotics, but not necessarily severe. Some are cheap and others are expensive. They can be very effective. The benzoyl peroxides and antibiotics work better together than they do alone.
