Clinique face wash causing acne?
I went to the mall about a year ago and bought Clinique rinse- off foaming cleanser (which is what the Clinique woman suggested) to help clear my mild teenage acne and oily and dry skin, only to discover it was making my face worse! It caused large, red, painful bumps. I quickly d/c (discontinued) it, and tried many other products which none seem to help ;( I was wondering if it causes acne before it begins to work. If any of you use it and can tell me whats going on I would surely appreciate it! Or any other advice. I'm very tired of my acne improving.
Btw. I have a combo of blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples. Gross, I know.
All I wanted to know is if any other women have used this Clinique stuff and had the same problems. And if you (women) think I should try it again.

Some times it’ll get worse before it gets better, most places say to give a product 3 months to reach full effectiveness. If it’s that bad, try asking your Dr, you might need something stronger like a Rx. Just don’t let them talk you in to a high concentration of benzoyl peroxide, it’ll do nothing but bleach everything you own and irritate your face to hell and back.
