Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

As per your query Deriva gel contains retinoid Adapelene and antibiotic Clindamycin and it should be applied only over the pimples and not over the entire face..
You can also take the tablet if it is prescribed to you by your dermatologist..
You should also wash your face with salicylic acid containing face wash..
Do cold compresses.
Apply benzoyl peroxide an azelic acid containing gels..
Avoid sun exposure.
Avoid oily food.
Drink plenty of water and take a nutritious diet..
Take multivitamin supplements daily..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
