I have been advised to not use any additional moisturiser or face wash. What should I do if Moiz cleaning lotion makes my skin dry?
Will this medication cure the scars and marks?
I mean, will it cure the boils & pimples from root?

effective treatment

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the follow up.
Drying lotion is given to you as oily skin is main cause of acne.
These will help you but there is no treatment which can uproot acne.
It may come back again.
The treatment advised to you will take care of acne as well as scars.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
