Now Ive started using Acnesol again, but its not giving me the same results. What should I do to get rid of the acne for good?

Continue using Acnesol as prescribed by your doctor. Additionally, you can incorporate Persol Forte back into your skincare routine for better results. Apply Persol Forte once daily on the affected areas after washing your back thoroughly. Make sure to follow up with a non-comedogenic moisturizer to prevent dryness. In addition to these topical treatments, consider using a body wash containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to cleanse your back. This can help prevent new acne breakouts.
