Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic I can understand your concern and frustration over acne. Oily skin and acne go hand in hand. Sebaceous glands are large and work overtime in those who have oily skin. You could use a salicylic acid based cleanser for face wash. Salicylic acid is a deep cleanser and reduces oil production. It is also comedolytic and therefore prevents new acne formation. The treatment of acne mainly revolves around topical retinoids, topical benzoyl peroxide and topical antibacterials. Topical retinoids are comedolytic and thus first line drugs in the treatment of acne, they also prevent new comedones. Retnoids also lighten the hyperpigmentation/black spots left over after acne resolves, so it has multiple advantages in acne Benzoyl peroxide is keratolytic and antibacterial and also helps to prevent development of resistance to the topical antibacterials like clindamycin. It can be used if you have inflammatory acne(papules and pustules) Doxycycline is an oral antibacterial as well as antiinflammatory and mainly used for inflammatory acne. It brings about rapid control of inflammatory acne. Once your acne is under control you could use a kojic acid based cream/gel for black spots left over after acne. Always use a broad spectrum sunscreen 1/2 hr before stepping out in the sun Besides it is important to know that acen is a chronic condition and you need to use a topical retinoid for maintenance of improvement till at a particular age , when the tendency for new acne formation dies down. Hope this information helps Regards
