No, all acne medications are not the same, while it is possible they might have some of the same ingredients, they are each different. There are some treatments that are made to reduce the excess oil on the face, by breaking it up and it is washed down the drain. There are others that will help in the reduction of shedding skin cells, which are known to clog the pores and mixed with excess oil cause an infection in the hair follicles.
Acne medications or treatments do not even look the same, there are prescription pills, and there are ointments, solutions to clean the skin, lotions, gels, cleaning pads and others. What each of these have is certain ingredients that are known through research to fight acne. That is what is most important is that there is a type of medication or treatment available to help treat a person’s acne and at the same time not irritate the skin. |
