Acne Facial Washes: Which One’s the Fairest of Them All?
Here we look at three acne face washes I recommend you try before choosing one that suits you best in terms of efficacy and
tolerability.
Skin types vary from person to person, so no one acne facial wash product can be said to be best for everyone. Not everyone, for example
can tolerate benzoyl peroxide, an ingredient that has been found to be effective against acne. Give an acne facial wash brand at least a
two months’ trial period. You may not be able to test for effectiveness if you switch to the next acne facial wash product too
soon.
Clearasil Daily Facial Wash
Clearasil Daily Facial Wash has been on sale long before many of the other acne facial washes made their appearance.
Today, Clearasil Daily Facial Wash is a fixture in the international market. Clearasil Daily Facial Wash acts as a soap substitute
with a lathering action to help clear dirt and facial oil away. Its active ingredient is tricoslan (0.30%). A 6.5-oz. bottle is
priced at around $4.50.
Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash
The Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash is one of the better facial washes for acne. Its active ingredient, salicylic acid, is formulated at a dosage of 2%, making it one of the milder facial cleansers available. Its makers claim that the solution cleanses without leaving residues that clog pores, and that its soothing ingredients help prevent irritation. Many who have used Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash say that they have never experienced any irritation in using this wash, so it certainly warrants recommendation!Purpose Gentle Cleansing Acne Wash
This soap-free, hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic (does not clog pores) solution’s impressive list of ingredients includes PEG-80 Sorbitan Laurate, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, PEG-150 Distearate, Sodium Lauroampho PG-Acetate Phosphate, Fragrance, Quatermium-15, Tetrasodium EDTA and water. No wonder Purpose Gentle Cleansing Acne Wash is dermatologist-recommended! It purportedly is non-irritating, even when used twice a day by individuals with sensitive skin.So far, we have only surveyed three brands of acne facial washes. There are several other acne facial washes available out there. But which acne facial wash should you use? Of the three, many seem to prefer the Clearasil Daily Facial Wash, and continue to use it. However, this particular acne facial wash may not be what suits you. As suggested earlier, your individual dermatological needs and susceptibilities, as well as preferences, should all play a role in determining which acne facial wash product is best for you. Why not go and try a facial wash or two, and then some more, until you meet your match?
