Hello,
Acne or pimples normally appears at the age of 13-14 years and then almost disappears by the age of 25-30 years.
These erupt because of hormones (chemicals which are influencing one or other body functions including growth, puberty and development of body in adults). In addition there is the influence of certain other factors causing its aggravation.
Among all of the creams which you are applying only Benzoyl peroxide (benzac)is having the propensity to cause bit irritation so apply it with bit caution. In my patients I use Tretinoin 0.025% with glycolic acid and Azealic acid at night time under medical supervision. You should take a proper guidance from a dermatologist so you should ask for the same and can get better relief of your problem.
All the best.
