Hello. Thank you for writing to us at healthcaremagic

Acne activity usually wanes with age.
Mild to moderate acne can be quite well managed with topical antiacne preparations.
Topical retinoids e.g adapalene gel is ideal for you. I suggest you to use it every night till your acne is clear.
It is comedolytic and therefore would prevent new acne while also treating existing ones.
Thereafter you may continue using adapalene gel as a maintenance treatment, once every alternate days.
Topical antiacne antibacterial gel e.g clindamyicn gel Or benzoyl peroxide gel can be used as a spot treatment, only for active acne lesions, during day time.

Regards
