Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Acne and scars need a combined approach.
I treat such cases with the following regimen.
1. Apply adapalene gel in night. Keep it for an hour and wash off. Apply a mild moisturiser and sleep.
2. In early morning apply clindamycin gel and let it be there for three hours. Wash this off and apply a water based sunscreen.
Follow this for a Month you will get good response.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
