Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Relax and make yourself stress-free.

It is essential to:

  1. Wash the face with Ahaglow (salicylic acid with glycolic acid), and gently cleanse the face twice daily for two weeks.

  2. Apply acne oc (Niacinamide) cream during the daytime for two weeks.

  3. Apply Clindamycin clear gel twice daily for two weeks.

  4. Apply Benzac AC (benzoyl peroxide) 2.5 percent cream at night for two weeks.

  5. Take Doxycycline 100 milligrams once a day after dinner for seven days.

  6. Use photo-stable sunscreen daily in the morning and afternoon.

  7. Avoid the sun while on Doxycycline as it is a photosensitive drug.

  8. Use necessary sun protection measures.

Follow up after two weeks.

I hope this has helped you.

Thank you.
