Which face wash is best for pimples?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Face wash with either salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide may help in removing dead skin cells which clogs the pores leading to acne. Either of them may help only in mild grade of acne. You can choose face wash with salicylic acid if you have blackheads, whiteheads and comedones and face wash with benzoyl peroxide if you have pus filled pimples.

I'm considering using an adapalene microsphere plus clindamycin phosphate gel that contains 0.1% adapalene and clindamycin phosphate equivalent to clindamycin 1%. I'm curious if it's a powerful retinol and exfoliant. Can I safely layer it with a mild AHA product, considering I have dry skin? If it's possible to layer without too much exfoliation, what AHA percentage would you suggest, and what type would be best?
Adapalene Microsphere Plus Clindamycin Phosphate Gel is indeed a powerful retinol and exfoliant, containing 0.1% adapalene and 1% clindamycin phosphate. Adapalene helps control excess sebum production, removes dead skin cells, and opens pores, while clindamycin kills bacteria that cause acne. For dry skin, it's essential to be cautious when layering retinoids with alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs). Start by applying a small amount of the gel and gradually increase as your skin becomes more tolerant. If you still want to layer it with a mild AHA product, consider the following: AHA Options 1. Glycolic Acid (5-7%): A gentle, water-soluble AHA that helps brighten and exfoliate the skin. 2. Lactic Acid (5-10%): A hydrating AHA that exfoliates and helps retain moisture. Tips for Layering 1. Apply the AHA product first, allowing it to absorb fully. 2. Wait a few minutes before applying the Adapalene Microsphere Plus Clindamycin Phosphate Gel. 3. Start with a low concentration of AHA and gradually increase as your skin becomes more tolerant.
