In the clear...getting rid of adult acne for good Q: I thought my days of dealing with acne were long behind me, but it seems I'm not so lucky. I've spent an arm and a leg on expensive products promising to clear it up, but nothing works. Please help! Dr. Wright: Acne is an embarrassing problem that, for many people, persists long after adolescence. The good news is that a form of vitamin B3 called niacinamide and a naturally occurring substance called azaleic acid are both effective against the most common form of acne, called acne vulgaris. Both topical niacinamide gel and azaleic acid are readily available through any compounding pharmacy.  |
