Can the soap/moisturiser I use affect my acne?
In a word, yes. Those who are prone to breakouts should wash their face twice a day with a gentle cleanser that has been formulated for oily or acne-prone skin, as this will keep excess oil under control, without stripping the skin. Remember that over-washing or scrubbing your skin too hard can dry out and irritate the skin, making the acne worse. You should also opt for a dermatologist approved, oil-free moisturiser, as it will not clog your pores.
