Has stopping using acne washes helped your face at all?
    #22321591 - 10/01/15 10:59 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

To those of you that used/use acne face washes with salsylic acid or some other acne combating ingredient, have you tried stopping with improved results? because I'm going to try this after hearing about it so much. I've been washing my face 3 times a day with acne cleanser for months and my acne hasn't really changed; so I'm figuring, it can't hurt :shrug:

Wish me luck!

Ive never relly had too much trouble with acne. Ill get the occasional monster zit and flaring up but it kind of just always handled itself over the course of a few days. 99% of the time i just wash my face with soap and water. If we have any noxzema i would use that but never noticed a real difference. But i got lucky with pretty clear skin so ymmv.

salsylic acid dries out ur skin which can also contribute to more acne if you use too much of it. it's really meant for occasional spot-treatment it shouldn't be used as a wash.

for a face wash use something gentle like neem/tumeric wash and only do it 1-3 times a week.

also stop touching your face. face-touching is the #1 cause of acne

I used to use a cycle when I had acne of 2 weeks on 2 weeks off, more or less. I'd clear up within the first week, start to break out the 2nd week, then either stop/begin treatment again and have 1 week clear, 2nd week begin to breakout etc.

Good luck with it man I remember how shit it used to be. Mine was never anything worse than moderate but it still took a pretty heavy toll on self confidence. Stick with it brotha :thumbup:

Havent read the responses yet, but three times a day is definitely to much. Especially with acne related washes. You are probably irritating your skin and making things worse. Try cutting back and stopping for awhile, I feel like you will see improvements. I had really bad body acne, and I would shower twice a day thinking I was doing the right thing cleaning my skin. It cleared up quite a bit when I went to once a day because my skin was getting irritated/dryed out and my body would boost the grease because of this I think.

Also, your body builds a immunity to acne medications. Especially the antibiotics they give. Sometimes they work really well in the beginning, then after awhile dont work at all and just start making things worse.

Does your face wash contain parabens?  I have rosacea and had this problem with a lot of facial cleansers.  I switched to one without parabens and it's better.

I used to have acne when I was young and uses those acne washes with limited results, now I have no acne and just splash my face with water and occasionally bar soap once a day. No acne. But probably just because I am almost 30 now.

100% Yes. It will flare out real bad for 2 monthsfrom withdrawls. Just wash with water. Soap sometimes. But really rubbing in hot water does good.

i'm speaking completely based on personal experience. i was a total pizza face all throughout highschool and now i have virtually no acne at all.

I learned through trial and error, changing habits and all that, what works best for me. but could be different for other folks.

-drink lots of water
-eat right (lotsa veggies)
-don't touch your face
-use a natural face wash but don't over-do it
-don't use face wash with scrubs or skin irritants like salicylic acid
-occasionally it's okay to use salicylic acid to fight big spots or whiteheads (but don't over do it, don't re-apply more than once every other day or so)

that's how those "treatments" can give you more acne if you use them too much. benzoyl peroxide is basically the same thing as salycic acid. it works by drying up the sebaceous glands and killing all the excess oil and bacteria in ur pores.

if you use it too much on your whole face, ur whole face is gonna dry out. This will cause your skin to produce excess oil to overcompensate for the loss of moisture.

you want your skin to produce a healthy balance of oil. some of it is good for you but excess amounts will give you acne. and also, your skin will reactively produce excess oil in response to over-dry skin.

I've always had fairly bad acne but because it's so dry where I live I have a hard time using face washes regularly. I did find that using a face lotion works wonders though.

anything with saclyic acid only made acne worse for myself, it would seem to improve at first but ultimately would just dry my face out and irritate my skin.


stopped with acne facewash's and switched to noxema deep clean w/ a moisturizer a few years ago, and that works wonders.

I didn't read the thread besides skimming over and seeing this^ post....which I concur with.




I used to have really bad acne, still get an occasional pimple here and there, but nothing like it used to be. What I did....I improved my diet drastically, cut out lots of processed shit and drink lots more water. I stopped using acne washes, stopped putting a bunch of chems on my skin and stopped washing my face as often.

That's basically it....Changed my diet, drank more water, didn't wash my face with strong chemicals, washed it less often and with softer/gentle soaps. I think other factors such as stress and depression totally contribute to acne breakouts as well. And things like keeping one's bedding clean, lots of oils and bacteria build up on pillows. And drug use (even things like coffee, or cigarettes, can contribute to acne )




Kratom seems to have improved my skin over the years to, though my skin was already cleared up a lot before I started using it.




Lately I've been using these soaps, and I certainly notice the condition/complexion of my face and skin has improved over the past several months. I didn't get these soaps to improve my skin or for acne, just thought I'd try out a different soap, and over the months I've noticed they've nourished and healed my skin quite a bit.

I use this soap on my face once a day, and as body soap in the shower.








And recently started using this soap on my face about twice a week  (got sunburn recently so I'm waiting until my skin heals before I start using the black soap again, as it seems to dry out the skin a little bit...that other soap above is really moisturizing though)....

I own an all natural/holistic skincare line.

I used to have crazy acne until I tweaked my diet and my skincare routine.

But, first things first: you are going to need to be PATIENT with this process. Give your self 30 days, at least, to let your skin heal. You have totally destroyed the natural oils on your face as well as the balance of bacterias. It may just continue to get better, or it may get worse before it gets better as your skin heals.

One of the absolutely WORST things you can do to oily/problem skin, is to use "oil free" products on it. Your skin NEEDS its natural oils, and when they get stripped away with harsh products, you just produce MORE.

When I healed my life-long acne, it was partly because I started moisturizing with OIL. Yep. Not kidding. Now my skin routine looks something like this:

Wash with my powdered/herbal cleanser
Spritz w/ rosewater
moisturize with my oil blend

Sometimes in the evening I oil cleanse instead.

Also I probably only "wash" my face a couple times a week now. Most mornings these days I just splash with cold water and then put a little oil on.

Once your skin starts to heal, a good aloe vera gel would be nice too, will help with any scarring.

My face used to be oily as fuck and COVERED in acne before I made these changes, and now it's balanced and mostly clear.

All the advice is pretty sound. If you are using washes and your face isn't clearing up and getting worse you may want to try just using hot water and regular soap. Avoid touching your face because your fingers are covered in bacteria. I don't think they really have much evidence of diet being really linked to acne. It's more hormonal and do to clogged pores from dead skin and bacteria.

Using an alum block after I shave has annihilated all traces of acne. Highly recommended, especially since a single block costs like $5 and lasts for years.

"I have no way of knowing whether you, who eventually will read this record, like stories or not. If you do not, no doubt you have turned these pages without attention. I confess that I love them. Indeed, it often seems to me that of all the good things in the world, the only ones humanity can claim for itself are stories and music; the rest, mercy, beauty, sleep, clean water and hot food (as the Ascian would have said) are all the work of the Increate. Thus, stories are small things indeed in the scheme of the universe, but it is hard not to love best what is our own—hard for me, at least."

U might get a pimple here and there but don't mess with them, just let them be. They'll disappear on their own and probably won't appear again.

there are MANY chemicals in MANY commercial-brand soap products which can irritate/over-dry the skin. sodium lauryl/laureth sulfates are a major one. they only use it cuz it's cheap to mass produce. salysic acid and benzoyl peroxide can kill a zit but it does so by penetrating the pores with chemicals meant to destroy bacteria and oil (some of which your skin NEEDS in order to stay healthy)

It doesn't matter so much for the rest of your body but the face is very sensitive and fragile. if you're gonna get natural/organic anything have it be face wash

On day 4 now, and I have quite a few prominent pimples, but my skin is definitely not as discolored from dark marks as it was days ago. redness has also gone down alot.

I sometimes get lots of pimples all in one area and they get super red and make my whole face look like shit. I switched to non astringent cleansers, and used witch hazel as a toner. It doesn't get rid of acne, but it kicked the redness in the ass. Now my face looks smooth and normal a good 95% of the time. :smile:

Another thing ive noticed is washing your hair every day. Unrelated to topic but to hygiene in general. Read an article it strips the little bit of natural grease it is supposed to produce. So your body produces WAY more. Why you wake up with sludge hair. I wash my hair about twice a week now. Last time was friday its monday now. And my hair feels like its just been washed. Its messy from sleeping. But soaking it for a moment and drying it off its far from greasy. Soft as fuck.

Don't think I have that strong a will but I'm going to try to. I can def see how this would help cause every time I look in a mirror I get really anxious and end up picking at my face

just eat right and don't dick around with your face too much. it's really simple. drink ur water. try gentle massages to get the blood/oxygen flowing but make sure ur hands are clean.

also remember environment plays a factor, the dry cold winter weathers coming and depending where you live you may need to moisturize a little.

Thanks for the suggestion but I'm not gunna put any skin care products on my face for at least a month. I read that the skin is a self cleansing organ so I don't want to interfere with whatever cleansing it does; I actually haven't shaved since the day I stopped using acne wash cuz I don't want the shaving cream to mess with my skin:justdontknow:

Now on the 7th day and I realized looking in the mirror this morning that my face looks better than it has in a very long time. Still have a few pimples popping up here and there but overall I'm extremely happy with how my face is recovering and am going to continue to not use face products.

You might consider using tea tree oil. Completely natural. Very anti microbial. Also consider doing a colon cleanse. Acne is usually just a reflection of your digestive system and the food you eat.

UPDATE: It got much worse for about 3 weeks, but in these past few days its been getting much better and now I have less than 10 pimples, although quite a few dark marks. Not sure if this is a result of my face getting used to not being washed or if its from the antibiotics just starting to kick in, after months of being on them. Sadly if it is the antibiotics(minocycline) starting to work, than thats a bummer cuz I just took my last one this morning. Also I've been eating lots of probiotics in the form of greek yogurt so that my acne doesnt return now that I'm off the antibiotics.

Alkaline your body.

- Drink 3-4 tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar daily.
- Eat Alkaline foods like Kale, Spinach, etc.

Reduce inflammation by
- taking 500-2000mg of Turmeric extract daily.
- eliminating potential sources of inflammation, like processed sugar, milk/cheese, and eggs.

I used to have horrible acne. Now I have really good skin by doing the above. There a lot of other benefits to doing those things as well.

To get rid of acne, all you have to do is cover your pillow with a fresh towel every night. The acne will go away on its own fairly quickly... No radioactive chemicals needed
