Oral Antibiotics	Kills bacteria from inside	Effective, but bacteria can develop resistance	Stomach issues, sensitivity
Topical Retinoids	Unclogs pores, speeds up cell turnover	Effective for mild/moderate acne	Dryness, irritation
Chemical Peels	Exfoliates dead skin cells & unclogs pores	Effective, but requires downtime	Peeling, redness, irritation
