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.
