Which facial cleanser is good for removing acne?

When many people choose facial cleansers, they always pay more attention to the type that can remove acne and ensure facial cleansing, because only this type can be effective on the body. However, when buying facial cleansers, you need to pay attention to a few points. Acne-removing facial cleansers may not really remove acne. When choosing a facial cleanser, you should choose according to the nature of your skin.

Do acne-removing facial cleansers really remove acne?

It is normal to get acne during adolescence. Many people do not know how to take care of their skin at the beginning. They only know that they need to wash their face thoroughly and keep it free of oil. So many people go directly to buy facial cleansers that are advertised as having "oil control capabilities" and expect to eliminate acne with them.

However, can the so-called "acne-removing facial cleansers" on the market really remove acne?

Anyone who starts to fight acne starts with the so-called "oil control, acne-removing facial cleanser". If you don't believe it, just ask your classmates and friends around you, who hasn't tried it?

Nowadays, there are many facial cleansers that claim to remove acne, generation after generation. But have you ever really heard of anyone reporting that their acne problem was solved by just using a facial cleanser?

Yes, there are almost no successful examples of acne removal with facial cleanser alone.

However, there are still students who believe in it and buy it. Even if these facial cleansers that claim to have acne-removing effects really contain so-called acne-removing ingredients such as salicylic acid, it is unknown how much acne-removing ingredients they contain and whether they can really achieve the acne-removing effect.

What's more, when we wash our faces, most of these so-called acne-removing ingredients are actually washed away, and the ingredients that can really act on acne to achieve effective acne-removing effects are almost zero.

The only function of facial cleanser is to clean the surface of the skin. Other so-called acne-removing and whitening functions are just a way of promotion by merchants.

If your acne shows signs of improvement after using an acne-removing facial cleanser, it is not because of the acne-removing ingredients, but because of the soap base. Oily skin is the skin most prone to acne, so most of the facial cleansers on the market are oil-control and acne-removing, and most of these facial cleansers contain soap-based ingredients.

Did you know? The pH value of the sebum film formed by sebum is weakly acidic, and the pH value of the soap base is alkaline. The soap base has a strong cleaning power and can remove grease and dirt to the maximum extent, so using a soap-based facial cleanser is helpful in removing acne.

However, soap-based products cannot be used for a long time, because the weakly acidic sebum film has antibacterial and skin-protecting effects, but alkaline facial cleansers will destroy this beneficial pH value, causing the skin to lose balance and damage the skin barrier.

Moreover, soap-based cleansing products will cause the skin's stratum corneum to lack water after washing the face, and the skin will feel dry and tight. Although occasional use can relieve the oil production of oily skin, long-term use will cause skin sensitivity and form oily sensitive skin, which is more likely to irritate sensitive skin and cause acne.

Therefore, for the so-called acne-removing facial cleansers, it is recommended that you buy PH test paper first to test the PH value of the facial cleanser. If it is weakly alkaline or weakly acidic, it can be used, but strong alkalinity is not recommended. In addition, facial cleansers are just facial cleansers, don't expect too much from it to have too many beauty effects.
