Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

For dandruff I suggest you to use a ketoconazole based shampoo, e.g., Nizoral 2% shampoo, every alternate days. Lather it well on to wet scalp and allow it to act for 7-10 minutes before rinsing it off. For acne I suggest you to continue with Adapalene and Clindamycin combination gel (Deriva CMS gel). Apply a thin layer over acne prone skin. For daytime I suggest you to use Clindamycin 1% gel for acne. Kojic acid-based cream (Kojiglo Forte) is for pigmentation on chin and around node. Use it twice daily. This cream can also be used to lighten dark spots left over by acne.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Kakkar S.
