    When you use it use every couple of days not every day. But for now use a mild unscented soap gently. Like Dove. Pat dry. Then soothe with Witch Hazel. It works well & stops the itching. Then apply oil free, non comedogenic mousturizer like Neutrogena. They also make acne wash for sensitive skin for when your skin heals.

    One simple step that works to keep acne away.

    Niacinamide (aka Niapads ®) face pads help keep acne away by scrubbing open clogged pores, oily residues and exfoliation. Feel a pimple coming? Just wet a pad, place it on the pimple and remove it when dry. Sit back and watch pimple disappear. Works on body acne too.

    These pads also help reduce skin hyperpigmentation (acne scars).

    Try it and see the difference.
