Is it possible for face cleansing products to cause breakouts?

Question by thaDub: Is it possible for face cleansing products to cause breakouts?
For the most part, I have very good skin. I’ve never had to do anything to my skin other than just clean it in the shower. I get the occasional pimple but nothing too serious. Every once in a while I use face cleaning products for a couple weeks or so (I use Clearasil face wash and Clean and Clear blackhead scrubbing pads).

Every single time I use these products for a week at a time or more, I get tons of small pimples on my face. Is it possible that these prducts could be making me break out? I dont have oily skin and they are oil-free.

The scrubbing pads may be too harsh for your skin. If your skin clears without using those products, I would look towards allergy to the product, or the bacteria that may get trapped on the scrubbing pads.

Question by skin101: What is the best skin regiment to clear and heal new scars as best as possible?
healing scars near mouth and nose. Face apparently went from mixed to oily complexion after the accident. Would like to know about topical medications as well as nutrition tips and supplements.

Vitamin E oil, 28,000 IUs, available at a drug store or market.

I used a men’s triple blade razor like a Bic disposable to shave my legs. I got a gash like you wouldn’t believe. When I went to get my pedicure, Lady told me to use Vitamin E oil. I bought it from the health food store next door, and it worked. No scar, it healed quickly and no bruise.

I have been using it since.
