What is the best treatment method for acne if I have sensitive and oily skin? (photo)

Doctor's Answer

Hello Joshua

Thank you for your question. There are many options available to treat oily and acne prone skin

  • Topical retinoid (Retin A/ Differin)
  • Chemical peel (Salicylic acid)
  • Oral isotretinoin/ antibiotic
  • Carbon laser peel

I will recommend starting with a topical retinoid for 1 to 2 months first. You can then add chemical peel or carbon laser peel or both for better results. Low dose oral isotretinoin can be included as well for stubborn cases.

Chemical peel and carbon laser peel can cost anywhere between $120 - $300 per session. Hope this helps.

Regards,

Dr Jiwei Wu
