What is the difference between prescription and OTC anti Acne creams?

Yoram Harth, MD

Great question. The difference is mostly the price. The most important ingredient in prescription anti acne creams is benzoyl peroxide that is available in OTC products. The other ingredients added to prescription anti acne products add very little to the efficacy and frequently add side effects.
