I've been told to stay away from products containing salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide as these only irritate the skin much more. Cetaphil is a good daily cleanser without any of these two ingredients and is fragrance free and pretty gentle, though I need a moisturizer after using. My drummer had a bad acne problem and his dermatologist recommended Cetaphil along with some prescription topical treatment.

 

I feel your pain.

Watch your junk food intake too. Greazy stuff and those overpriced so-called 'energy' drinks are bad for causing acne outbreaks. When I was younger, one trip to Micky D's and I'd be poppin' zits for two days. Sometimes, though, a Quarter pounder with cheeze and gargantuan fries and a quart of rootbeer was worth it. People's acne is set-off by different foods. For me it was Fries and chips. With my sister it was chocolate.

My advice is simple and seems to work well.

 

1. Find the mildest soap you can and wash your face twice a day with it. My wife gets us this bamboo and salt soap from Korea. Works wonders and does not contain a bunch of odd ball chemicals like salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide.

 

2. STOP TOUCHING YOUR FACE! You hands are covered in dirt and oil.

 

3. Rub one out regularly for that special glow.
