hi there :) First off NEVER wash your face more than twie a day. It actually aggravates the skin and over dries it resulting in the oil glands producing more sebum which is what blocks up your pores and causes some spots. Acne is down to more oil being produced when hormone levels are changing ie, during puberty. Or sometimes its a genetic thing but most people grow out of it once their body is used to their hormone levels. Its a bit of a luck situation really - I have heard stories of people that stopped washing their face with products and used just a mild soap once a day and it helped but others do need something stronger. The best thing is to use a mild foaming face wash that isnt over drying twice daily plus an astringent/toner specially made for oily/spot prone skin. If you can find products that say Non Comodegenic on them thats great as this means non pore blocking. Increase your water intake beacause over the long run it does help spots clear quicker . Another thing depending on where you are from these products are good to put on spots overnight. Bad spots like whiteheads- Savalon- a mild antiseptic cream. Or sudocreme- (mild enough for skin as it is used on babies.

Answer #3

Don’t wash your face more than twice a day, otherwise your skin will become very dry. It can cause irritation as well.

I’d go and see a dermatologist. They may suggest a medicated acne wash that will work better than regular facial cleansers.

Answer #4

That’s not likely to help. soap is very drying to the skin, and having dried out skin actually makes acne worse, since the dry flakes act as a trap for bacteria.

Use a gentle cleanser and make sure you tone and moisturize.
