Treating acne is not as easy as it sounds. A combination of factors, like your hormone levels, lifestyle, diet, bacterial infection, and stress levels, causes acne. If a particular medication or soap is not working on your skin, it does not mean it is not effective. It means you need to improve all these aspects of your life. Also, avoid using multiple acne medications at the same time.
