HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Acne is due to: (1)increase sebum production (the oily substance that you are noting)
(2)blockage of the hair follicles
(3)inflammation of the skin
(4)presence of a particular bacteria
To treat properly, you may want to use a treatment that would treat all of the above.
This would involve: (1) cleaning your face multiple times daily
(2)
benzoyl peroxide may help- it reduces inflammation and may also help kill the bacteria and unblock the pores.
It can come in different formats (cleanser, cream)
(3)antibacterial cream
There are some creams that combine an anti bacterial cream with benzoyl peroxide
You may also need a course of oral antibiotics
(4)if the above is not effective there
retinoids , either topical or oral can be used. You would need to speak to your doctor about this option.
Your
dermatologist would also be able to help with the
scars.
Ponds, unless it contains acne treatment meds, would not help.
I hope this helps
