They are very good at %26quot;making good skin look better%26quot;, but they are really aren%26#039;t good at treating skin which requires clinical attention. They all have the same active ingredients, anyway: salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, or sulfur.





If he hasn%26#039;t responded to the products you%26#039;ve mentioned, then he really does need to see a doctor/dermatologist. You might consider trying a product called SalAc; you can buy it from Dermstore.com or Amazon.com. Many dermatologists recommend it, and it is good treatment. He can follow it with a 5% benzoyl peroxide treatment.





As far as how to approach him, just buy it, and leave it and bathroom with a note attached, saying, %26quot;To make you look sexier!%26quot; Subtlety is everything. Don%26#039;t make a big deal about it. If he has insurance of his own or through his parents, just ask him if his skin bothers him, you%26#039;d be happy to go to a dermatologist with him -- that you like him just the way he is but that you understand his acne bothers him.
