Brief Answer: adapalene and clindamycin Detailed Answer: Hello Thanks for the query. Acne happens due to blockade of glands and needs a combined approach. Best treatment is to combine an antibacterial cream with retinoids. You can use adapalene gel in night and clindamycin gel in morning. Both these are easily available over the counter. Use it for at least 2 months to get results. Let me know if you have any other doubts. Thank you
