Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain Sofderm cream contains Aloevera, Dimethicone, Glycerol and Vitamin E.
It is suitable for nourishing your skin but does not have any anti-acne ingredients and you need to consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated as acne can occur due to a number of causes like oily skin, bacterial infection, inflammation,hormonal imbalances and sun exposure..
You will be advised to take a combination of anti acne and antibiotic treatment for reducing acne like wasing your face with salicylic acid and glycolic acid containing facewash..You can apply creams containing Benzoyl peroxide and Clindamycin..
You can also apply Adapelene gel at night..
You can also apply Sofderm cream for lubricating your face..
Avoid excess sun exposure..
You should apply gel based sunscreen lotion..
Drink plenty of water and take a nutritious diet..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
