BEST FACE WASH BRANDS FOR OILY SKIN

No matter what the underlying cause of your acne, using the right face wash for management of acne is essential. This goes for both men and women dealing with acne. Using the wrong cleanser or soap can destroy any results you may be getting from medical treatment or home remedies for pimples. Since a face wash is rinsed off with water, any acne-fighting ingredients in it do not get to stay long enough on the skin to create a big improvement. This is why a face wash alone is not enough to get rid of acne.

Instead of a strong face wash that dries the skin like crazy, use a mild face wash that cleans well and suits your skin. Some face washes contains peeling agents such as glycolic acid, lactic acid (both AHA) and salicylic acid (BHA). These substances keep the pores clean, thereby reducing the occurrence of pimples. But they are rinsed off, so they may not be as effective in clearing up acne as stay-on acne treatment creams. After washing, use an acne treatment product only on acne prone areas of the face. This 2-step approach will serve you well in effective management of acne.

There are two kinds of ingredients you should be looking out for – comedogenic (pore clogging) and non-comedogenic (non-pore clogging). Choose products that have non-comedogenic ingredients and avoid ones with comedogenic ingredients. That is a safer guarantee than labels boasting sensitive or gentle or herbal. Comedogenic ingredients in acne cleansers often include added moisturizing agents such as Castor Oil, Wheat germ Oil, Glycerin and Lanolin. Aloe Vera on the other hand is safe for use on acne prone skin.

If this is true, don’t feel grossed out and think that you are disgusting or anything such as that. It’s normal and it happens to many people.

It has a sharp smell (did they say hypoallergenic?) which you can feel arise as soon as you get some of the gel out.

Keracnyl can be harsh on your skin if you use it in addition to other acne treatments. This face wash is not really gentle no matter what the package says, but sometimes your skin needs heavy duty treatment. If you are already using strong acne treatments such as Retino-A, Benzoyl Peroxide or Accutane (Sotret), Keracnyl may irritate the skin even further. Keracnyl is best used as a standalone product for maintenance of acne prone skin.

8. Clean and Clear Foaming Facial Wash This is a budget face wash for maintenance of acne prone skin. Clean and Clear Foaming Facial Wash (gel form) cleans the face thoroughly and gets rid of excess oil. Do not expect it to clear up severe acne though.
