Generally speaking, facial cleanser is a liquid product composed of oil phase, water phase, surfactant, moisturizer, nutrient and other ingredients. Among them, creamy facial cleansers contain oily ingredients and are suitable for dry skin; crystal-like transparent products do not contain oily ingredients and can meet the needs of most consumers if the formula is properly adjusted. Surfactants in facial cleansers have five major functions: wetting, dispersion, foaming, cleansing and emulsification, and are the main active ingredients in cleansing products. In addition, according to the principle of like dissolves like, during the face washing process, the oil phase can be used to dissolve the oil-soluble fat dirt and excess oil on the face; the water phase can be used to dissolve the water-soluble sweat stains and dirt on the face.

Can I use a scrub-type facial cleanser for acne on my face?

No, not only acne-prone skin, but also skin without acne should not use scrub facial cleansers frequently, because scrub can make the facial skin thinner, and at the same time it will increase skin sensitivity and make it prone to allergies.

Never use exfoliating products if you have pimples on your face. The keratin covering the pimples is already very thin. Using an exfoliating facial cleanser will make the pimples worse. Moreover, if you accidentally break the pimple, it is likely to leave acne scars, which are very difficult to treat.

It is best not to use abrasive facial cleansers on acne-prone skin. Scrubs will irritate existing acne, enlarge pores, and make the skin rougher. Long-term use will cause the skin to become thinner (scrubs have an exfoliating effect) and develop red blood vessels. It is best to use a milder facial cleanser.

If you have normal skin, it is recommended to use an exfoliating facial cleanser two or three times a week. Use it at night. It can properly exfoliate the skin and is good for the skin. Just don't use it frequently.

You can use facial cleanser for acne on your face, but don’t use scrubs. Be careful that the acne on your face may become more serious.
