Hii there … A detailed history with clear photographs are needed to judge . There could be multiple reasons of you getting acne and acne scars , it’s better to make a video consultation or you can visit your doctor for better evaluation and treatment
Health Tips
Continue with adapalene , it will take time show results , make sure you are applying gel based sunscreen every 3 hourly

Deriva CMS (adapalene + clindamycin) usually takes 6–8 weeks to show noticeable improvement in acne. Using it for only 3 weeks may be too early to judge the response. Dark spots you are noticing are likely post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation left after acne, which improves gradually with proper treatment. Next Steps • Continue Deriva CMS at night if it has been prescribed and your skin tolerates it. • Use a gentle face wash twice daily and apply a non-comedogenic moisturizer if there is dryness. • Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) during the day, which helps prevent worsening of dark spots. Helpful Tips / Word of Caution: • Avoid squeezing or picking pimples as it increases dark marks. • Acne and pigmentation treatment takes 6–12 weeks for visible improvement, so consistency is important. If you want a detailed evaluation and other treatment options, then please take an online consultation with me through the app's instant consult option.
