I use small detergent packets to wash my wash cloths in the washing machine. is there a certain ingredient that cause acne?

Not likely: Acne is caused by the excessive inflammatory response that your immune system mounts to get rid of a bacteria that normally lives in our skin and to which other people's immune system does not overreact. It is also influenced by hormonal changes such as the ones that occur during a female's menstrual cycle.
