There are several acne treatments that are effective for many acne sufferers.  However, I don't recommend all of them because some are simply too expensive or too risky.  For instance, laser treatments work well for acne and acne scars, but one visit can cost upwards of $300.  Many dermatologists prefer to give their patients oral contraceptives, which are effective for some, but can actually make acne worse for others.  It also has a tendency to cause weight gain.
