Hello Lybrate-user, you can buy the Clindamycin phosphate + niacinamide combination gel for your acne treatment. This combination gel is prescribed for inflamed reddish acne. But use it according to your doctor's instructions, as prolonged usgae might lead to resistance. Also, try general preventive measures like washing the face with water / soap for 3-4 times a day, avoid pricking the acne, avoid direct sunlight contact, avoid substances causing irritation when applied to the skin.
