Thank you for asking on HCM!

Nearly 80% to 90% of all adults experience acne during their lifetime.

- Wash affected areas with mild soap (Purpose, Cetaphil) twice a day.
- Washing face more than two to three times a day can decrease oil production and cause drying.
- For mild acne Benzoyl peroxide, 2.5%, 5%, 10%; begin with 2.5% at bedtime.
- For moderate acne Tetracycline 500 mg twice daily for 3 to
6 weeks.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
