Which face wash is best for pimples?

Doctor 1

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.
