Hi Lybrate-user! tretinoin, benzoxyl gel or adapalene gel are used routinely to control acne breakouts and can cause dryness. A non comedogenic moisturiser added with hyalurodonic acid will work well. Azelic acid / ferulic acid works well. Use liquid cleanser like cetaphil cleansing lotion to prevent dryness. Acne or pimples is an age related skin problem which has ups and downs of the lesions. Depending on the diet which you take, acne will be under your control. Pleas don't touch your pimples with your hands as it can cause spots and can aggravate pimples also. Reduce oily foods, sweets ,chocolates, non vegetarian foods like red meat, chicken ,eggs, dairy products as these foods can aggravate acne. You can do private online consult and show your skin pics and chat such that you can a better solution.
