Acne and cleansing: I would only wash twice a day, morning and night. If you wash too much, you will start to dry out the tops layers of skin. The oil glands then "sense" the dryness and start to make more oil! if you work out or do something that makes you want to wash your face consider salicylic acid pads to wipe down with, and avoid of full washing. The key is a balance between oil production and dryness.
