Inflamed pimples and acne marks on the cheek can usually be managed with regular skin care and suitable acne treatment. Wash your face gently twice a day with a mild cleanser and avoid scrubbing or squeezing the pimples, as this can worsen inflammation and leave more marks or scars. For inflamed pimples, treatments containing benzoyl peroxide or adapalene may help reduce acne and prevent new breakouts. Azelaic acid may also help control acne and gradually reduce dark marks left after pimples heal. Start with one treatment at a time to minimise skin irritation. Use a non-comedogenic moisturiser to prevent dryness and apply a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every day to prevent acne marks from becoming darker. If the pimples are painful, deep, spreading, leaving scars, or not improving after 6 to 8 weeks, consult a dermatologist for appropriate treatment.

Cipla Saslic DS Foaming Face Wash is a wash-off product that is applied to the skin and rinsed off after use, resulting in minimal absorption. It is generally considered less likely to raise concerns than leave-on salicylic acid products. However, if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, it is advisable to consult your doctor or dermatologist before use to ensure it is suitable for your individual needs.

I have a lot of pimples on my face, including both small and large ones. Which face wash should I use?

If you have many pimples, including both small and large ones, choose a gentle face wash that does not dry or irritate your skin. A face wash containing salicylic acid can help remove excess oil, clear blocked pores, and reduce new pimples. If your skin is sensitive or very dry, start with a mild, fragrance-free cleanser instead. Wash your face gently twice a day, especially after sweating. Avoid scrubbing, rubbing, or squeezing the pimples, as this can worsen inflammation and leave marks or scars. Do not use several acne products at the same time unless advised by a doctor. If the larger pimples are painful, deep, filled with pus, or leaving scars, consult a dermatologist to examine your skin. You may need additional treatment besides a face wash.

Can I use Cipla Saslic DS Foaming Face Wash 60 ml on my face? I have a lot of pimples.

Cipla Saslic DS Foaming Face Wash contains salicylic acid, which may help exfoliate the skin, reduce excess oil, and support acne-prone skin by helping unclog pores. It can be used on the face if you have pimples; however, results may vary from person to person depending on skin type and acne severity. Use it as directed on the product label and avoid overuse, as it may cause dryness, irritation, or increased skin sensitivity in some individuals. Do not rely only on a face wash to treat acne, as pimples often require a combination approach involving suitable skincare, medications if needed, and lifestyle changes. If you have severe, painful, or persistent acne, consult a dermatologist for appropriate evaluation and treatment.

My skin has become tanned and oily due to outdoor work; which medicated skin cream should I use to treat this?

To address both oiliness and tanning, I recommend a simple daily routine. For the excess oil, use a face wash containing salicylic acid, which helps clear pores. To treat the tan, apply a cream containing glycolic acid, kojic acid, or niacinamide at night; these ingredients gently exfoliate and brighten the skin. Most importantly, always protect your skin during outdoor work by applying a broad-spectrum, gel-based or matte-finish sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) during the day. This prevents further tanning and allows your skin to heal. Ensure you use a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer to keep your skin balanced.
