Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic
For acne you can use salicylic acid facewash twice daily and use acnemoist cream as a regular cream for yourself.
As far as sunscreen is concerned you can go for faceguard sunscreen gel.
Moreover I would recommend you to upload the photographs of the affected areas so that I can have a clearer picture of the condition and can guide you accordingly.
