in ayurveda there are two options for offering cure. They are shaman and shodhan. Shaman means press the disease and shodhan means detoxify the body. In acne vulgaris local application acts as shaman so there are chances for recurrence. In shodhan use of blood purifiers gets rid of acne. my advise is avoid local application and opt for blood purifiers, this may take a few days but skin will be acne free and glowing.

becauuse you have asked specified question:
1. This medicine contains (Diphenhydramine) i.e. antihistamine;which is used for itching and pain caused by minor burns-cuts-skin irritations, sunburn, insect bites, or rashes from poison ivy.
2. So Consult with a Dermatologist regarding use of the same, because it may be effective in controlling itching associated with acne but will not control the disease.
