I experience acne on cheeks. Especially along the cheek bone. My skin is very oily and I have a lot of dandruff as well. I've been applying Clindac gel since years every night, however this problem never seems to subside permanently. Also, these acne leave scars on the face despite the fact that I make sure never to touch or press them.
