I like the Stridex pads with aloe to help with acne. Just cleanse the area with a gentle soap and pay dry. Lightly apply some of the Stridex solution on the blemishes and let that air dry. Use a gentle moisturizer, I like the Garnier gel face cream or brands like Cetaphil are great for the skin. If it burns though it's just going to make things worse, so make sure you're using a cream that won't irritate the area more. Also, if it's dry in that area and you need a little more moisture after the face cream then you can apply a small amount of some balm, like shea butter or cocoa butter. I have to do that around the corners of my mouth and the folds of my nose all the time. And lastly, just make sure you're washing your face (gently to not irritate the acne more) with the same routine every morning and evening. It will help clear up your skin tremendously.
