I've been struggling with acne on my face and back, and I'm worried about the black marks it leaves behind. I've tried using Adalene Nanogel 15g as my doctor suggested, but it hasn't completely resolved the issue. Can you help me figure out how to get rid of the acne and those spots?

In addition to Adalene Nanogel, you can try using Benzoyl Peroxide gel (2.5%) in the morning and Adapalene gel (0.1%) at night. This combination can help reduce acne breakouts and prevent new ones from forming. For the black marks left by acne, you can use a skin lightening cream containing Hydroquinone (4%) and apply it only on the dark spots at night. Remember to use a sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from further darkening. Make sure to follow a gentle skincare routine, avoid picking or squeezing acne lesions, and maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle to improve your skin condition.
