Basics: You find a doc you can work with who helps you design a skin care routine that helps. This often includes a variety of meds, creams, etc that can change over time. You plan to fight acne for the long term, since some have it well into their 30's and beyond

Keep clean: Acne at this age is very common and hormonally related,so it is difficult to get rid of it altogether.Treatment is focused on keeping it under control until hormone fluctuation improves.Key points:keep clean with soap and water,but don't scrub;drink plenty of fluids and eat healthily;benzoyl peroxide topical creams can help as well as salicylic acid lotions/wipes.If not better, his doc can help.
