A member asked:

Why could i still be getting acne if i wash my face every night?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Water may help: Although proper hydration may help acne, washing your face with water may not be enough to remove all dirt or oils from your skin. You may need to invest on a nice cleanser for your skin type.
