A member asked:

Are baby wipes good to wash your face with when you have acne breakouts?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Baby wipes should not be used on one's face. They contain some allergens and would be irritating on the face. Acne does not go away with washing one's face. I would recommend a cleanser like cetaphil cleanser for acne.

Is it safe to use Benzethonium Chloride (such as Wet Ones wipe) on 1-month old infant boy's face? He got acne and Dr suggested Antibacterial soap, but it was hard to apply. I am thinking of using just water and then wipe with Wet One without rinse.
