A member asked:

I wanna know what is a good facial cleanser that's good for your face and will prevent breakout and pimples?

Salicylic acid: Washes with salicylic acid, used as tolerated, are one of several options for keeping acne at bay. Benzoyl peroxide and retinoic acid derivatives are also options.
