What is the best treatment for moderate, persistent acne?

What acne cleanser/treatment is best for me?

  • I'm in my late-teens and I'm looking for an an acne-fighting cleanser to supplement my existing basic one (Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser). I have oily combination skin, but I don't break out that often nor do I get a lot of pimples when I do. I do however, I have a lot pigmentation left over after they heal. Considering that, I'm looking for a product that will prevent acne and my secondary priority is something to heal or fade away the existing scars. Since I'm more interested in an acne-preventing product, my question is which ingredient would be better, salicylic acid? Or benzoyl peroxide. I know salicylic acid is a mild exfoliant and that benzoyl peroxide kills bacteria, but I'm not sure which product to choose. In terms of actual products, currently I'm looking at the Neutrogena Oil-Free Stress-Control Power-Cream Wash (SA) and Clean & Clear Continuous Control Acne Cleanser (BP). Would you recommend either? Or a different product? Do you have any suggestions for a good acne-scar fading product? Thank you.
