Hi, welcome to HCM,
As you are suffering from acne vulgaris, your line of treatment is correct.
As excessive dryness and peeling is occurring apply supatret C cream in short contact therapy. apply the cream at night and wash after one hour.
use non comedogenic emollient (Acrofy cream) twice daily.
wash your face with face wash containing 2% salicylic acid.
thanks
