Anti-acne drugs are medicines that
help clear up pimples, black heads, white heads, and more severe forms of
acne.
Purpose
Different types of anti--acne drugs are used for different purposes. For
example, lotions, soaps, gels, and creams containing benzoyl peroxide or
tretinoin may be used to clear up mild to moderately severe acne.
Isotretinoin is prescribed only for very severe, disfiguring acne.
