Doctor's Answer
Brevoxyl Creamy Face Wash is my preferred brand. Epiduo or Deriva-BPO are good brands for the night gel and Aziderm 10% cream a good brand for the day cream. Rivela SPF 50 for normal skin and Sungrace Total SPF 30 for oily skin are good sunscreens. Please note that the night gel can cause irritation and hence must be used as very thin layer and only under the supervision of a dermatologist in person. Regards. ... Read Full Answer
