Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,
thanks for writing to us.
As you have acne prone skin so any steroid based cream can flare up acne. Therefore you may follow following suggestions
Use a salicylic acid based face wash two times in a day
Apply Azelaic acid cream( aziderm) and tretinoin based cream( revize) every alternate nights.

please do not expect immediate results. This would not only regulate oiliness, shrink pores to some extent but also reduce marks and scars. Follow this prescription atleast for a month or two.
Hope this helped
