Acne - General advice
- ACNE Clean your skin gently with a mild soap or cleanser twice a day once in the morning and once at night. You should also gently clean the skin after heavy exercise. Avoid strong soaps and rough scrub pads. Harsh scrubbing of the skin may make acne worse. Wash your entire face from under the jaw to the hairline and rinse thoroughly. Remove make-up gently with a mild soap and water.
- Avoid being sunburned. Many medicines used to treat acne can make you more prone to sunburn. Many people think that the sun helps acne, because the redness from sunburn may make acne lesions less visible. However, too much sun can also increase your risk of skin cancer and early aging of the skin. When you are going to be outside, use sunscreen of at least SPF 15. Also, try to stay in the shade as much as you can.

Since using the acne cleanser, scrub and glycolic moisturiser I have had a great inpovement in the appearance of my skin.
I am using thes products daily over the past month. My skin is much brighter in appearance and a lot less oily.

It is important to note, as you stated, that too much scrubbing may irritate the skin and make the acne worse.
This is a common mistake for those who suffer from acne. They think their skin is not clean enough when in actuality they make the situation worse.
