Best face wash for acne prone skin

Acne is a problem that most people experience at some point in their lives. It usually starts in the teen years and can carry on into adulthood. Luckily this article will help you get around it by offering you great face was solutions against it.

The first try:

Clean & Clear Continuous Control Acne Cleanser

So many people started with clean and clear. Their ads are focused on teens and it’s an affordable, effective way to start dealing with acne-prone skin in your youth.

This formulation works because it contains 10% benzoyl peroxide (which is actually pretty strong) thus making it quite effective. Benzoyl peroxide reduces acne breakouts in the skin because it is antimicrobial, thus reducing bacteria on your skin. The fewer bacteria on your skin the less it will break out

This is a great affordable option but note that it can be a bit drying so use a good moisturizer with it.

The charcoal solution:

Bioré Charcoal Acne Clearing Cleanser for Oily Skin

I started using products with charcoal in my skin a little while ago and it’s been a lifesaver. Charcoal detoxifies skin by drawing out bacteria, poisons, and chemicals in the skin thus unclogging pores and improving the appearance of the skin

This product also includes salicylic acid which also helps to clean out clogged pores by penetrating and washing them out. It’s also great for blackheads.

The 2 in one:

Neutrogena Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask

There’s nothing better than getting a good bargain especially when it comes to skincare products. That’s why I recommend this 2 in 1 product, it can be used as a daily cleanser and a mask, doing the job of clearing breakouts as well as deep cleaning pores.

This product has 3.5% benzoyl peroxide, the benefits of which I have stated before. This percentage is low enough to not be too harsh on your skin and can be used for sensitive acne prone skin as well.

The Kaolin and bentonite in this product will also help with oiliness on your face reducing the oil to a normal level.

The cult favorite:

Neutrogena Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit

Many people graduate from clean and clear to Neutrogena. It’s a good brand that is inexpensive and tackles a variety of skin problems simply and with no hassle.

Not only does this product contain salicylic acid which cleans out your pores but it also has a good dose of vitamin C which is great for brightening and nourishing the skin. You’ll feel fresh-faced after use and the pink grapefruit scent will make the face washing process a little more enjoyable.

The lightweight powerhouse:

Obagi CLENZIderm M.D. Daily Care Foaming Cleanser

This is not heavy like some cleansers can be but is strong enough to wash away any dead skin, dirt, and oil that might be clogging your pores and causing acne. It does this well but won’t leave your skin with a dry tight feeling afterward.

A little goes a long way with this product and the little you use will work well. The 2% salicylic acid will make sure all the impurities on your face are washed away, it’s hard on acne not on your skin. Even if you have extremely sensitive acne prone skin this will be a great option.

The sulfur cleansing bar:

Traditional Sulfur Soap Cleansing Bar

I was really surprised to learn about the positive effects sulfur has on the skin. This includes calming down redness and inflammation and fading mild and cystic acne. It also absorbs excess sebum which causes acne and helps to unclog pores. All in all, it can do a lot for your acne prone skin

The only catch is that it smells not so great generally. The gas you pass smells like rotten eggs because of the sulfur in the food you eat, sulfur naturally smells like rotten eggs – sorry TMI. Thankfully this product only has a mild fragrance so you’ll be ok using it.

The all natural bar:

Lush movis soap

If you need something natural, good for the environment and good for your skin then this is a great option. Lush is well known for its great social responsibility, its great bath bombs, and its fantastic skincare products.

I spoke about this bar in another article, all in all, this soap uses great ingredients such as wheat germ oil which moisturizes the skin and extra virgin, coconut oil and sunflower oil which help it retain moisture. Your skin won’t feel stripped at all after using this soap rather quite moisturized.

The no frills option:

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser

Cetaphil gives us products that are simple, straightforward and do the job well. This product can be used on the face and the body which makes it great for bacne (back acne) or acne anywhere else on your body

Dermatologists love this because it has no fragrance so it will wash impurities away without irritating the skin. If you have sensitive skin this is great because it also soothes the skin.

The light exfoliator

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Medicated Gel Cleanser Acne Wash

If you have acne, exfoliating is still necessary to smooth out your skin and this product will help with just that. Regular exfoliation will also brighten skin and reduce breakouts, your pores will be less clogged thus preventing breakouts.

The lipo hydroxy acid is a micro-exfoliator so it won’t aggravate your acne prone skin or acne but rather it will gently buff away any residue, dirt, excess oil or pollution on your skin.

The protector:

SkinMedica Facial Cleanser

The world is a harsh place, especially on the skin. You’ll need a face wash that not only cleans our your pores removing dirt, impurities, oil and makeup but you also need a protective later

This facial cleanser gives your skin antioxidant protection against the harsh environment around us, strengthens the lipid barrier of the skin as well as hydrating your skin. Your skin will feel clean after use not tight and dry.
