Regarding treatment for acne

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through the query and viewed the Images.
You seem to have comedonal acne. I suggest you to use Adapalene 0.1% gel for night time application. It is comedolytic agent. You may also use Clindamycin 1% gel at day time. Use a mild cleanser for face wash e.g cetaphil gentle cleansing lotion

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance,

Detailed Answer:
hi.
High calorie food can exacerbate acne. I don't know if your protein is high calorie or not but they usually are because proteins contain a lot of added sugar. The medicines that you got from pharmacy are the same as I suggested. Differin gel can irritate skin so you should use it sparingly. Use a non-comedogenic moisturizer before applying differin gel to reduce irritation or you may use differin gel on alternate days. Use clindamycin during daytime.
Take care.

Detailed Answer:
hi.
Adapalene can cause flare but it is not necessary for it to happen. In case it happens you can use clindamycin gel during day time to suppress the flare. For my patients it is the best antiacne topical despite numerous exfoliating and skin peeling agents available online which no doubt are effective too
Take care.
