Hey, guys.

Is it true that using soap (like a bar of soap) on your face will irritate skin, and it's better to use a facial cleanser? Also, any tips on what I can do to fight acne? I wash my face two or three times a day.

Generally, yes, for the soap irritating the skin, although it depends on what kind of soap it is.

Use benzoyl peroxide. It cleared up my acne in a few days.

-Don't touch your face, don't even scratch it
-Wash your face with warm water to open up pores

Also, diet has been said to affect acne. Milk is probably a big one.

Milk is bad for acne? Are fruits okay?

I have some daily wash shit from oxy.... 10% benzoyl peroxide. Should I use this in the shower?

And will I find like... 100% benzoyl peroxide? Sorry for being such a retard... my parents never had problems with acne so they don't know what to tell me and I'm tired of having it.

Fruits should be okay. I'm not saying milk is bad, but I've just heard some people say that it can cause acne. It's probably why I have a few pimples here and there sometimes since I drink a lot of milk.

10% is good enough. 100% would probably burn your skin off.

Yeah, use it before or in the shower, instead of soap.

Milk =/= acne. Skim milk, anyway.

Any sort of processed sugars or greasy fats can cause breakouts. Fruits, veggies, and meat/bread without lots of fats should do you good.

Alright. Thanks, man.

Anything else I could possibly do? I've had it kinda bad for the last 4 years and I've tried the whole time to cure it, obviously doing it wrong. Maybe the soap has something to do with that, but I mean, if there's anything else I should know, please fill me in :3

I use a 10% benzoyl wash on a daily basis, other over the counter ones have sallicyllic sp? acid as an ingredient idk if they're stronger. But if you have really bad acne you may need a prescription, which isn't that big of a deal and supposedly works.

OP again.

Alright, I'll use the benzoyl wash on my face in the shower and watch my diet closer. Fingers crossed this will do enough after a while to at least make my face clear up a bit.

Make sure you get enough sun. It gives you Vitamin E, which supposedly helps.

Sunlight converts into Vitamin D in your skin.

My bad. I knew it was either D or E.
