Acne in Indian Skin: What Actually Works

Dr. Rajeev Kumar · 12 July 2026

Most patients arrive after months of fairness creams, toothpaste on spots, or daily scrubs. Those habits inflame the follicle and stain the skin.

Start with a gentle cleanser twice a day, a non-comedogenic moisturiser, and sunscreen. Benzoyl peroxide or a retinoid is added only after the barrier is calm. Cystic or scarring acne needs a clinic visit — not another Instagram serum.

If you live in Bareilly’s heat and dust, keep pillowcases clean, avoid heavy foundation on active lesions, and book a consultation before scars set in.
