Acne is caused by many different causes, so the treatment that works for one person may not work for another. There are too many different factors affecting the skin.

The best acne treatments for one person won’t work for someone else. Skin type, motivation and lifestyle all play a part. Dermatologists are helpful in that they can take all these factors and more and put together a treatment regimen that will work for each individual.

Whether you purchase something over the counter that works for you or end up at a dermatologist, be sure to follow directions on treatments and follow-through.
