I'm using Acnil soap for acne, but my face is drying out and starting to peel. I'm 25 and really worried about these side effects. Could you recommend another option for dealing with acne that won't dry out my skin?

Since Acnil soap is causing dryness and peeling of your skin, you can try using Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser. It is a mild and non-irritating cleanser that is suitable for sensitive skin. Use it twice a day, in the morning and evening, to cleanse your face. Make sure to follow up with a non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.
