Brief Answer:
Care of acne skin
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same.
Now your main problem is that of acne and dandruff.
You have been using a herbal medicine for your acne problem which is not seemingly effective now.
You should start application of a topical anti acne cream called clindamycin cream over the acne lesions twice a day.
Use neutrogena oil free face wash twice a day to wash face.
In addition, you should always use a sunscreen before going out in the sun. You can use neutrogena dry touch spf 50 sunscreen.
For your dandruff, you can wash your hair with scalpe shampoo twice a week. Apply it over the scalp, leave it for five minutes before washing it off.
Avoid using hair oil. Avoid using any cold creams over face.
Wash face as frequently as possible.
I am sure this information will help you.
If however, your acne problem does not settle only with topical agents and the pimples are severe, then you might need oral treatment as well.

I have to apply hair oil regularly otherwise if I don't then I feel drowsy whole day.
So can you suggest me some hair oil which can prevent/reduce the dandruff. Also some my friends suggested me SAAFI (A blood purifier tonic), that can also help in reducing acnes. Do you suggest this as well?
I don't understand why I am suffering from acne from so much time whereas my Gut is good and I used to drink 6-7 litres of water a day.

Brief Answer:
Take treatment, would get better
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
Since you want to use a hair oil, you can use an anti dandruff hair oil like clinic all clear anti dandruff oil twice a week.
As far as using safi is concerned, I would not really recommend it.
Acne can occur due to various reasons like hormonal, excess sebum production or infections . So it is important to take proper treatment for the same.
