Can applying physiological saline to the face help remove acne?
Applying physiological saline to the face generally does not eliminate acne, but it can assist in improving acne conditions. Acne treatment usually involves medication under medical guidance, such as adapalene gel, erythromycin ointment, or azelaic acid cream. If medication proves ineffective, aesthetic medical treatments such as chemical peels, red and blue light therapy, and photodynamic therapy may be used for improvement.
