Some of the OTC products contain the same pharmacological agents prescribed by your dermatologist and will be effective. But choosing the correct agent for your type of acne is important. If the acne is severe, you may require prescription medication. Also beware of some OTC products which do not contain any proven or tested ingredients. And, do not be under the wrong impression that ‘herbal’ OTC products are harmless!
