How come when you have clear skin and you use products for acne it can make your skin worse?

by schmedes2 on April 30, 2010

I have really clear skin that\'s completely blemish free and I used Clearasil and tried Proactive once. I assumed that since these products improve the skin of people with acne, that they would make my skin extra clear but much to my dismay, I started getting zits after a while of using the Clearasil. Obviously, I never used the products again but does anybody know why this happened?

clearasil is bleach. don’t use it; it’s really bad and drying for your skin.
use the right products for your skin type. you probabely have sensitive skin, and are breaking out due to the harsh acne-fighting chemicals used in proactiv. proactiv made my skin worse as well.
acne products usually contain oil fighting ingredients to provent pimples. if you have normal skin and use these oil fighting ingredients then you will have increased sebum (oil) production because your skin thinks it needs to produce more oil because it’s dry.
that’s why you always have to use a moisturizer, even if you have oily skin.
you probabely have sensitive or normal skin, and both of those types would benefit from cetaphil. but you may not need to use anything on your face, and nothing is better than harsh products.
hope i helped.

Why would you use a product that you have no use for?

ReneeXgore April 30, 2010 at 10:16 pm

it was probably bringing up all of the dirt and nasty stuff in your pores to the surface so you cant get them outjust keep doing it and the zits will become crusty and thats when you use a mask and scrucb and lotion on your face and your will become acne free and your skin will probably look cleaner and fresher then ever before

Blemishes are caused by oils and dirt trapped in the pores of your skin. Many peoples’ blemish problems are a result of too much oils and dirt on their skin or large pores susceptible to these. Many acne products are designed to inhibit the production and presence of oils on the skin. However, over use or use on skin that is already dry can trigger the skin to produce more oils and it can actually have an adverse affect and cause blemishes.

The products you mentioned are not suitable for your skin since they’re meant for blemishes.
These products are primarily designed to dry up the zits, so to use them on clear skin would in essence overdry your skin and make your oil glands which are normal to begin with, go into overdrive.
Stick with products for normal skin, instead.
