Hi,
As you said you suffer from acne vulgaris. I would like to say that please take tablets of azithromycine thrice a week for few months. Isotretinoin 5 mg daily at night.
And apply clindamycine gel on lesions in morn. And apply adapalene gel at night on lesions. Have face wash like acmed for cleansing the face.
Avoid stress and anxiety. Avoid oily food. And have patience for the good result. You may get good result after few months.
Thanks.
