  1. For Mild acne just topical will work ,but if moderate grade acne u need oral antibiotics along with topicals. Severe acne like nodulocystic acne your doctor will prescribe isotretinoin along with topicals.Most of the medicines will work but it take time, at-least 6-8 wks treatment is required.

  2. Earlier years when i used to have acne , doctor prescribed minocycline and it worked for me.
