A member asked:

Could shaving foams clog pores/cause acne?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: This sudsy stuff probably never plugged anything. If you're got bumps on the face from shaving, it may be folliculitis of the beard, easily managed, or real acne, which is very treatable if you're willing to make the effort.
