Should I Use Neutrogena Spf Moisturizer And Soap For Curing Acne?
I have a bit of acne but not too horrible. I use Johnson and Johnson baby bar soap with added moisturizer and it doesn't dry my face and I like it but I also use neutrogena SPF moisturizer right before i put on makeup. I am wondering if i should only use one product with moisturizer or still continue using both products?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have a bit of acne which occurs due to onset of puberty, hormonal changes and when clogged pores of sebaceous gland filled with sebum ,dead skin and bacteria get infected. You should get your hormones levels monitored. You should wash your face with mild soap and cold water twice a day. You can use neutrogena spf moisturizer and soap with proper examination of your skin once. You should use Isotrentoin on daily basis and wash face with clindamycin gel. Exfoliate your face once a week. If condition doesn't start getting better in a month then consult dermatologist . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics course. Drink plenty of water and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
