A member asked:

What is the best facial cleanser for acne prone, sensitive skin?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Salicylic acid: Find a wash with salicylic acid, or perhaps use basis or other mild soap and water plus topical benzoyl peroxide and/or retinoic acid. Nothing that works against acne is pleasant, but you'll be doing yourself a huge favor by using anti-acne Rx.
