Prachi looks like more of hormonal disbalance cause repeating acne Would suggest you to get checked for pcos with your gynecologist
As you have extremely oily skin Follow this routine
Avoid: Oiling your hair (especially at night)
Dairy and sugary junk food (can flare acne) Touching or squeezing pimples Scrubbing harshly or over-washing
Take Azithromycin 500 mg once daily for 5 days Morning Skincare (Daily) Face wash: Use a salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide 2.5% face wash- saslic DS face wash
Moisturizer: Oil-free, non-comedogenic Re’equil Oil Free Moisturiser or Cetaphil Oil Control
Sunscreen (essential to prevent dark scars):La Shield SPF 40 Gel
Night Skincare (Most Important) Face wash again with same one as morning
Apply treatment gel: Use Adapalene 0.1% + Benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel (like Epiduo) Apply very thin layer also only on affected area alternate day and then daily
Apply Aziderm 10% for scars after 2 week acne reduced
Since your skin is oily and acne-prone, recurring acne even after using benzoyl peroxide suggests deep pore clogging and inflammation that needs a balanced long-term routine. Yes, niacinamide (for oil control and healing) and salicylic acid (for deep pore cleansing) can work very well together. Use a salicylic acid face wash twice daily and apply niacinamide 10% serum in the morning with benzoyl peroxide 2.5% at night, and consult a dermatologist if breakouts persist for oral treatment options.
