Navigating Acne Medications
A Clinical Guide to Acne Treatments
Overview
Acne treatments aim to unblock pores, reduce oil production, kill bacteria and calm inflammation. Most people need to combine more than one approach.
When to seek medical advice
Speak to a GP or online prescriber if shop-bought products have not worked after eight to twelve weeks, or if your acne is painful, widespread or scarring.
Available treatments
Common options include benzoyl peroxide, adapalene, tretinoin, azelaic acid, topical clindamycin, oral antibiotics such as lymecycline, and isotretinoin for severe cases. Hormonal treatments like the combined pill or co-cyprindiol may suit some women.
What to expect
Improvement usually starts after six weeks and reaches its peak after three months. Dryness, redness and mild irritation are common in the early weeks.
Self-care
Stick to a simple skincare routine, use SPF daily (especially with retinoids), avoid heavy oil-based cosmetics and resist picking spots.
