Brief Answer:
Clindamycin benzoyl peroxide and doxycycline

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the follow up and photographs.

There are lot of fresh acne lesions on your face.
I treat such cases with a combination of oral and topical antibiotic cream.

You can continue with Clindamycin in morning.
Along with that apply Benzoyl Peroxide cream in night and take capsule DOXYCYCLINE 100 mg daily once for a month.

This combination works well and is safe as well as effective.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
