[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids do not have it severely but their dermatologist prescribed a combination of accuzone (benzyl peroxide higher strength) and adapalene .3% which works well. She said that the combination is important and one without the other does not work well.

[b]We haven't done the antibiotic but I have read that it is very targeted and only works on the bacteria that kills acne unlike the other antibiotics that you get for a sinus or other infection which have a broader range of what they kill. [/b][/quote]
