Acne is a prob to be tackled at the roots and not by chemicals as the very cause of acne is believed to be the body signal of telling you to get rid of the toxins in the body. Chemicals are some of them! Go for long term solution rather than quick fixes for they will invariably cause more problem in the future.
Mind you this info is not mine, I read it somewhere and we should be more informed before making a decision.

Several cosmetics and personal care products popular with teenagers contain ingredients linked to breast cancer and other serious health problems, according to Washington-based Environmental Working Group's recent study of beauty products.
In light of "Skin Deep," the brand-by-brand safety guide with information on more than 14,000 products, environmental health advocate group Breast Cancer Fund is asking for governmental intervention and hopes to raise public awareness about these potential harms.
"We don't believe that consumers should have to stop using cosmetic products," Breast Cancer Fund spokesman Kevin Donegan said. "We just believe consumers should have access to safer products."
Breast Cancer Fund, a founder of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, also asks for producer responsibility, pointing the finger at Sally Hansen, Procter and Gamble's Cover Girl and Neutrogena, none of which were immediately available for comment.
Breast Cancer Fund and "Skin Deep" named several toxic chemicals that should be avoided.
