Hi. Greetings. Acne is a chronic problem
The following would help you :
1. Daily use of gel based sunscreen in day time of SPF 30 applied half hour before sun exposure
2. Daily bed time use of retinoid cream
3. Antibiotic agents short course- prescribed by dermatologist for controlling out bursts .
4. Evaluation by dermatologist for any other trigger or need for oral retinoids- this will indeed help. Also salicylic acid Peel if needed
5. Kindly read my blog on daily skin care on Practo health feed.

Hope this helps.
