Brief Answer:
Adapalene and salicylic acid based face wash

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I suggest you to use Adapalene 0.1% gel every night. It is comedolytic and therefore would help reduce whiteheads and blackheads. In addition, I suggest you go use salicylic acid based face wash e.g. Neutrogena oil free face wash.

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

Regards
