Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic

I have read the query and most common causes of acne include increased androgen levels on attaining puberty,stress,some medications.Their ocurrence usually reduces with growing age.
I usually suggest my patients following measures for reduction of acne:

1.Wash your face at least 4-5 times a day preferably with soaps like dermadew acne soap to keep the face oil free and prevent formation of acne.

2.Drink plenty of water and avoid eating oily,spicy foodstuffs.

3.Medications like benzoyl peroxide gel 5% at bedtime will be of great help for inflammatory acne.

4.If you have white/black heads in pimple then use tretinoic acid cream 0.05% at bedtime.

5.Don't use the above two creams together,it will decrease their efficacy.In that case I suggest you to use benzyl peroxide with adapalene gel.

6.Avoid going out after application of cream.

7.Use sunscreen lotion before exposure to sun to prevent darkening of skin.

Hope this solves your query.

Kindly rate my answer if you find it useful.Take care.

Regards,
Dr.Tushar Tamboli.
