As you can see from the many different answers, there is no best treatment for acne. There is no one treatment that works best for every patient. A partnership between an experienced dermatologist and an experienced cosmetic surgeon is often necessary to arrest the acne process and treat the scarring associated with previous outbreaks.
The first step in the process is to stop acne outbreaks. This is best treated by consultation with a dermatologist. The next step is to erase the painful marks left behind. While no acne treatment can recreate unblemished skin, treatments can improve the texture of the skin.
It can take several treatments over years to get optimal results. In patients with darker skin, the options are more limited and more troublesome. Consultation with an experienced cosmetic surgeon is key to obtaining optimal results.
