The treatment of acne differs according to the grade of involvement. Some people have more oilyness on the face which results in breakouts. After completing treatment for controlling the active breakouts, tablets can be stopped and creams need to be continued to prevent recurrence. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also important. Please don't do any self treatment such as over the counter Steroid creams. Don't burst the pimples with your fingers as it can result in ugly scars. The marks and pores left behind after the pimples heal can also be treated. Please call me or send your photos through online consult option for detailed prescription and diet advice.

Frequent cleansing of face with gentle cleanser like cetaphil, antibacterial or comedolytic creams for acne would help you apart from dietary modification
If acne is more than grade two then oral antibiotics or retinoids would help you diminishing the symptoms!
Hirsutism can be controlled with few of the cream but rebounding is the common phenomenon ( when you stop applying the cream , hair would return ), LASER is the safe and effective way to get read of it. 6-8 treatments would be required at monthly interval . VISIT a clinic with qualified dermatologist!
Good luck with results
