Hi,

Welcome to Healthcaremagic.

Yes, Celestamine could be the cause for the acne in you to flare up.Do use retinoic acid derivatives like Adapalene.

If you see no response with Adapalene then you may have to visit your dermatologist to get examined to rule out allergic conditions.

Wish you good health.
