Acne treatments

[UseMeUntilMyBottomWearsOut]

My ds (16) has been using a benzoyl peroxide acne treatment made by Neutrogena called 'On The Spot' for the past year or so. It has worked really well up until now but they have changed the formula and it no longer has the same effect Are there any other similar creams that you have used or heard about? We are running out of the last tube of the old formula, so any help would be great!

I've started using another benzo peroxide-based treatment. It's American - a facewash, a gel, and a moisturiser. It's brilliant! clears my son's skin, even those blackheads that just sit in there and never heal. It's 2.5% strength. You could probably just buy the gel, but the three step works really well. I got it from amazon.com?tag=mumsnet&ascsubtag=mnforum-21 - with import tax and postage, it came to around £60 for the three items, but they are 8oz bottles/tubes and should last a long time, especially the gel. It's Acne.org

Hi, has anyone used LED treatment for quite bad teenage acne (I've read it's the blue light for acne and the red light for inflammation)? It's quite expensive and you have to have a lot of it so I was curious if anyone had personally had any experience.
Also, having tried all sorts of products to no avail, I was wondering about Roacatane also ...
Thank you and all best.

My dd now uses acnecide which has improved her skin,she is sadly still getting breakouts when she has her period.
