HOME BASED ROUTINE:
1. You can use the over the counter salicylic acid based face wash ( eg. Neutrogena Deep pore cleanser , Normaderm Vichy) . Use the face wash twice a day .
2. If you are using a sunscreen you should use a light water based SPF 15 sunscreen.
3. Use a moisturizer as it would be necessary to reduce the sensitivity of the skin .
Dermatological CLINIC Based Services:
1. Salicylic acid is a a form a peel treatment , a liquid which is applied over the skin by the doctor. This is kept on the skin for a period of 5 minutes and removed out with water. The peel seeps in the skin and controls the size of the oil glands giving rise to acne . It also has mild antibiotic properties.
