The active ingredients in acne preparations will determine the
mechanism by which the spots are treated. There are a growing
range of active ingredients that help address acne, but there
are 5 well established compounds that are frequently used. These
include:
1.Benzoyl peroxide is by far the most common ingredient in a
host of branded acne creams. The concentration of this chemical
starts at around 2.5% in low strength creams, peaking at around
5% in some of the stronger
treatments. It works by aggressively
killing the bacteria that are one of the causes of acne, by
releasing oxygen into the pores where the bacteria live and
breed. Benzoyl peroxide based creams can cause cause irritation,
reddening and flaking of the skin, which is clearly the last
thing you need, when trying to treat your acne. This is why it
is often better to start with a 'weak' (2.5%) preparation of the
treatment, working your way up to 5% as the skin becomes
more
tolerant.
2.Azelaic acid, is found less frequently than benzoyl peroxide
in preparations, but has a very similar mode of working. Many
users report less irritation with this treatment, and may

available through a prescription from your doctor.

having a calming effect on skin.
4.Erythromycin and clindamycin are topical antibiotics often
present in acne gels. These antibiotics are often combined with
other active ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide. The two in
combination provide an effective treatment whereby the
antibiotic kills the bacteria, and the disinfectant clears out
any remaining resistant bacteria that survive the antibiotic
treatment.
5.Retinoids are substances related to vitamin A, and work
