Acne is a common skin condition that causes spots, redness, and inflammation. It can appear on the face, back, or chest and often starts in puberty, though adults can experience it too. Triggers include hormones, excess oil, clogged pores, and bacteria on the skin.
Prescription acne treatments are designed to reduce breakouts, control oil, and clear blocked pores. At Pharmaceutra, we offer proven options for mild to moderate acne, including creams, gels, and antibiotics. A prescriber will recommend the most suitable option based on your symptoms.
Topical treatments like Epiduo, Duac, and Differin are effective acne creams that help reduce inflammation and target blocked pores. These are applied directly to the skin and are often used once daily, usually in the evening.
Oral treatments include Doxycycline 50mg, Tetralysal, and Oxytetracycline, which help reduce bacteria and inflammation from within. These options are often part of a longer-term plan, especially for back acne treatment or severe breakouts.
Combining acne and skin care can help support clearer skin. Using non-comedogenic moisturisers, gentle cleansers, and SPF daily may reduce irritation and support healing. Ask a prescriber how to treat acne around eyes, as this area needs extra care.
For those wondering how to eliminate acne redness or what gets rid of acne scars, consistent treatment is key. Some products target redness and hyperpigmentation, but results take time. A prescriber will help you build the right treatment plan.

How do I get rid of acne scars?
