"I believe in a twice-a-day regimen is key in ensuring that patients take an active role in their treatment. Using a gentle cleanser in the morning followed by an OTC acne treatment product with salicylic acid and then of course sunscreen is a great way to start. I completely trust La Roche-Posay products, like Effaclar K, to help me better control the overall treatment process to manage the acne and minimize any related side effects".
