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've been using Getlite cream and now my skin's become really red and itchy. It's kinda worrying me. Any idea on how I can get it back to normal? What could be causing this reaction? Would love some advice on what to do next.

To alleviate redness and irritation caused by Getlite cream, immediately stop using the product and apply a soothing, fragrance-free moisturizer or a hydrocortisone cream to calm the skin; you can also try a cool compress or an aloe vera gel to reduce inflammation and promote healing, and if the irritation persists, consult a dermatologis

Usage of oil on face depends on skin type. In persons with oily skin, additional application of oil must be avoided to prevent clogging of pores. In persons with dry or flaky skin, any natural oils may be used in moderation to mosturize the skin. Coconut oil, almond oil are some of the natural oils which are good for skin.
