Acne Cream & Gel

Leave-on creams and gels are the highest-concentration format in this range, applied either across an affected area or onto individual spots. Ingredients commonly used include salicylic acid and tea tree, and some listings contain prescription-type actives.

Before you buy

Concentration and ingredient differ significantly between listings in this range, and some products are intended for use only under medical supervision. Read the product page and label carefully, and speak to a registered doctor before starting a topical acne product if you are unsure which is appropriate.
