Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have facial acne along with scarring on face along with facial dullness which is due to hormonal changes , stress , oily skin and excessive exposure to sun are all possible causes for this. I would suggest you to wash your face with face wash containing benzoyl peroxide then apply cream containing azelaic acid which is safe and very effective. If condition doesn't get better in a month then consult dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment . Doctor may prescribe retinoid ointment and antibiotic like clindamycin. Exfoliate your skin with non comedogenic exfoliant once a week to remove dead skin. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables also drink plenty of water. Apply vitamin E before going to bed to fine texture of skin.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
