OTC or over-the-counter acne treatments can be bought from your pharmacist without a prescription. Some of the most popular OTC treatments for milder cases of acne include:
Zit Zapper – This OTC acne treatment exfoliates and unblocks the pores of skin in less than 8 hours. It can dry out spots and clean ugly red inflammation, revealing a healthy, radiant skin. It contains potent ingredients such as salicylic acid, witch hazel, glycolic acid, camphor and menthol.
Acne gels – A large number of acne gels are available over-the-counter. For instance, Trioxil is a popular acne gel that makes use of bisazulene - an antibacterial, antimicrobial, fungicidal and an anti-inflammatory compound found in chamomile flowers. Trioxil helps to treat acne effectively, without causing itching, redness or swelling.
