Hello Eve
Thanks for the query.
There must be blockage of the glands of face which has lead to acne.
Avoid using any powder which doesn't suit your skin.
It is better to go for a combined approach to get rid of acne completely.
Please follow the following.
1. Use a combination of adapalene or other retinoid cream and clindamycin. This will take care of blockade as well as bacterial infection
2. Use a water based sunscreen with spf 30.
3. Use a drying face wash like tea tree oil.
4. Its best to keep face covered by cloth whenever possible to protect from dirt.
5. Don’t rupture or try to remove scabs from infected acne, This will lead to pigmentation and scar formation.
Don’t apply any steroid creams.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
Thank you
