There is no one time solution for acne. For acne, you need to be constantly taking care care of your skin till at a certain when the tendency for new acne formation dies down
Topical treatment of acne mainly revolves around topical antibacterials (Clidamycin gel OR Nadifloxacin gel), benzoyl peroxide and topical retinoids. Topical retinoids are comedolytic thereby preventing new acne.
Acne is a recurrent condition and once your acne is brought under good control with oral and topical antiacne medicines, you should still continue to use a cream/gel e.g topical retinoid for maintenance of improvement. Topical retinoids are ideal for maintenance of improvement because they are comedolytic as well as antiinflammatory, thereby preventing the formation of new acne.
For inflammatory acne(papules and pustules) I advice my patients to start with one of the oral antibiotics leither Azithromycin/ Doxycycline OR Minocycline.
You could also take a few peeling sessions e.g salicylic acid peels, from a dermatologist. Salicylic acid peels are specific for acne.
Hope this helps
regards
