The most popular and effective remedy for preventing acne and rashes on the skin is acne cream on the face.

There are the following types of such creams:

The antibiotic acne cream is also effective at fighting acne by helping to eliminate germs on your face. However, such creams are recommended to be used only for short-term courses.
