A member asked:

How many times a day should i was my face to get rid of my acne... and what type of face wash is best for acne???

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Benzoyl peroxide: Overwashing or not washing can both have negative effects. It is a good idea to wash face 2-3x/day. I would use a mild soap on most of those and also wash once a day with a benzoyl peroxide wash. Start there and if not helpful then see your doctor.
