Hello. Thank you for writing to us at healthcaremagic No doubt acne is more common in oily skin but in your case I think the problem is most likely your daily make up routine. Make up can clog pores and cause acne. Other factors like moisturizers, sunscreens etc can be too oily sometimes and may be predisposing to your acne. Changing creams and trying too may of those certainly is making matters worse for you. Work stress, diet too may have a role to play in acne flare. I would suggest you to use a light make up and for as short a period of time as possible. Topically you may use a topical retinoid e.g Adapalene gel at night. Topical retinoids are antiinflammatory as well as comedolytic and therefore prevent new acne in addition to treating existing ones. Topical retinoids are also good for maintenance of improvement. I would suggest a gentle cleansing lotion for you e.g cetaphil cleansing lotion, twice daily. You may visit a dermatologist for a few sessions of chemical peeling. Salicylic acid peel is good for acne whereas glycolic acid peel for post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Your dermatologist may also start you on oral antibiotics if your acne are inflammatory (red and painful). Treatment of acne requires patience both on the part of the doctor as well as patient.
