The Best At-Home Acne Treatments, According to Dermatologists

Neutrogena On-The-Spot Acne Treatment ($9)

"One of the best acne-fighting treatments we have via prescription can also be mimicked with over-the-counter medicines. The Neutrogena On-The-Spot Acne Treatment can be mixed with the Differin gel. The way to do it is to gently cleanse your face before bedtime, then apply a pea-size amount of each medicine to your entire face (not just as a spot treatment!) when it is dry. Follow this up with a noncomedogenic moisturizer, like the Cerave PM lotion. You need to be consistent for four to six weeks prior to seeing results. The benzoyl peroxide, which is in the Neutrogena Spot Treatment, may bleach your pillowcase, so make sure to sleep with a white pillowcase if you try this." — dermatologist Robert Finney, MD FAAD
