Using soap is good for acne as long as you use soap that is formulated for use with acne and don't over use the soap or over wash the skin with the acne as it could make the acne worse.

The soap that is best for acne is Joesoef Anti Acne Soap which has antibacterial properties.

Vanicream Z Bar, Neutrogena The Transparent Facial Bar and DermaHarmony Sulfur and Salicylic Acid Bar Soap is also good soap for acne.

Acne is a common skin condition that happens when hair follicles under the skin become clogged.

Sebum—oil that helps keep skin from drying out—and dead skin cells plug the pores, which leads to outbreaks of lesions, commonly called pimples or zits.

Sebaceous glands lubricate the hair and the skin to stop it drying out.

They do this by producing an oily substance called sebum.

In acne, the glands begin to produce too much sebum.

The excess sebum mixes with dead skin cells and both substances form a plug in the follicle.

Some good ways to remove and treat acne are.

Apply Ice to the Pimple:
Apply a Paste of Crushed Aspirin to the Pimple.
Use An Over-the-Counter Acne Spot Treatment.
Use Makeup with Salicylic Acid to Conceal Pimples.
Apply a Face Mask for Acne.
Get a Cortisone Injection to Quickly Get Rid of a Pimple.

To treat acne you ab aksi try over-the-counter acne products to dry excess oil and promote peeling.

Look for products containing benzoyl peroxide and adapalene as the active ingredients.

You might also try products containing salicylic acid, glycolic acid or alpha hydroxy acids.

Acne often makes its grand entrance during the teenage years, typically between the ages of 12 to 18.

This is due to hormonal fluctuations that stimulate the sebaceous (oil) glands, resulting in increased oil production.
