Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I just read your query. Acne at this age is mainly due to hormonal changes. They will settle on their own. But still, if you want to take some precautionary measures, follow these:

Do not use soap on the face; wash your face with a mild soap.
Take Lacto calamine lotion and apply it over the affected area two times a day. Wash it after it is dry.
For acne scar marks, use Aloe vera gel on the affected area two times a day.
Avoid excessive spicy, oily, junk food and tea, coffee, and caffeinated drinks.
Drink plenty of water daily.

I hope this helps.

Please revert so I can assist you further.

Thank you.
