Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
As you are prone to acne,you should go for water-based sunscreen like Suncote sunscreen gel on regular basis.
As your acne has improved you can slowly taper your treatment by switching from Supatret-C gel to plain Supatret 0.05% gel, applied alternate night in pea-size amount to cover whole face followed by gentle rinse with facewash. Apply good quality moisturiser like Emolene cream before going to bed.
Hope this will take care of your issue.
Thank you.
