Acne Facial Cleanser
Acne is not caused by poor hygiene, and vigorous washing and scrubbing will not clear your skin. In fact, all that scrubbing can irritate your skin and make acne worse. The way to clear acne is with appropriate acne products and good skin care.
Acne cleansers are generally used to remove accumulated oil, make-up, sweat, and dirt on the surface of your skin. In doing so, these products generally make it easier for topical acne treatments to be absorbed. However, excessive use of acne cleansers can also lead to irritated dry skin. Most acne patients will only need to cleanse with such products once to twice daily.
The following are the ingredients you should be looking for in your acne cleansers:
Salicylic acid cleansers: These break down keratin in the blackheads, and can be used for mild acne.
Benzoyl peroxide cleansers: Breaks down keratin in blackheads, and has antibacterial effects.
