A member asked:
Should i use normal facial cleanser or facial cleansers with salicylic acid for pimples?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cleanser for acne: It depends. Salicylic acid cleanser is great for exfoliating the skin if you are prone to acne. If you have dry or sensitive skin it may be too drying. In this case i recommend a glycolic based cleanser. If you are oily definitely go with a salicylic acid cleanser.
