Y is it when i wash my face w/any facial cleanser, it breaks out but when i wipe my face w/plain water, it stays clear but i don't feel tht it's clean?

Dry skin: You may be simply drying your skin out and further clogging your pores with the cleanser, or you may be allergic to a component in it. Wash your face with soap and water and a means of removing dead skin (wash cloth, etc), and keep your skin moist. This should keep your skin feeling both clean and avoid acne.

Wrong cleanser: Your skin maybe sensitive to that cleanser, try another brand.
