I would recommend Benzoyl Peroxide OTC. In some people, it happens to work by itself. In others, it boosts the effectiveness of prescription treatments such as Tazorac. Use only once a day (the face should never be washed more than once a day, and if you take a shower, apply Benzoyl Peroxide in the shower). I have been told that Benzoyl Peroxide bleaches colorful towels, but I have not seen it happen in reality.
