Acne prone skin
I have an acne prone skin, and pimples break out on my face every now and then, more prominently before the onset of menses, which leaves scars/spots behind that take 2-3 months to completely disappear. My Tzone area over face is oily. Please suggest an ointment/cream that I can use for my face which can prevent formation of spots or lead to early spot lightening and let me know how to use it as well.
