Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to health care magic.
I understand that you have pimples and it is causing significant problem for you.
It seems to be hormonal and the problem will continue till that hormonal influence is over. It might continue till 30 or even 32 years. We should control the acne till it stops so that they don't leave behind scars. That means we should maintain treatment for long periods.
In my experience a gel containing benzoyl peroxide and adapalene (Epiduo) works well. Apply a pea size amount over pimple prone areas at night. Leave it for half an hour and wash off. Gradually increase duration by 10 minutes every day.
Wash your face with a salicylic acid containing face wash like speelac twice daily.
Decrease milk and milk products like cheese, chocolates, pizza, ice cream. Try to avoid very sugary foods.
Don't apply any creams on the face.
You may take few sittings of chemical peel for faster improvement from a dermatologist practicing cosmetic dermatology.
Hope this helped,
Take care.
