For your acne, use a gel containing Clindamycin in the morning and a gel containing 2.5% benzoyl peroxide at bedtime. Use a face wash containing 2 % salicylic acid. Do not use greasy or cream based cosmetics. Avoid all make up till the acne subsides. Use a gel based moisturizer. Do not keep changing products. Drink lots of water. Have a healthy diet and avoid fried and sugary foods. Hope this helps you. Take care.
