Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
For your acne, use a gel containing Clindamycin in the morning and a gel containing 2.5% benzoyl peroxide at bedtime.
Use a face wash containing 2 % salicylic acid.
Do not use greasy or cream based cosmetics.
Avoid all make up till the acne subsides.
Use a gel based moisturizer. Do not keep changing products.
Drink lots of water.
Have a healthy diet and avoid fried and sugary foods.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
