Brief Answer:
Regarding acne

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and noted your concern.

I suggest you to use Clindamycin 1% gel at day time. You may use Adapalene 0.1% gel for night time application. If you have inflammatory acne (papules, pustules, nodules) i would suggest you to also take an oral antibiotic e.g doxycycline 100mg capsule, twice daily for 2-3 weeks and then follow up. These are prescription medications. Use a gentle cleanser for face wash e.g Cetaphil gentle cleaning lotion.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
