If you have acne, you'll find a plethora of products meant to clear it. However, many products have important differences that make some better for your skin than others. They also come in several forms.

An acne face wash is meant specifically for the skin on your face, which is more sensitive than the skin on most of your body. It will typically include one or more of the common anti-acne ingredients, such as salicylic acid, which is helpful for balancing oil production. Since acne is often the result of an abundance of oil production and clogged pores, these products work well to tackles these concerns.

For some people, leaving an acne solution on the skin all day can be irritating. Therefore, there are masques that can be rinsed off shortly after application. These masques work to draw oils and contaminants out of the skin in a short time.

A more generalized acne treatment is good for other parts of the body, such as the back. One such product is the Sal-X Purifying Cleanser, which includes Salicylic acid. For most people, daily exfoliation is too harsh, but using this a few times per week can be extremely helpful. Exfoliators not only get rid of dead skin cells but also remove grime that milder cleansers often miss.

There are other specialized acne treatments that may help to reduce oil, slow skin shedding, and kill acne-causing bacteria. Often, a good acne control program will incorporate more than one product. This allows multiple concerns to be addressed in ways that do not promote more acne breakouts.
