When you are trying to get rid of acne, the last thing you want is a cleanser that irritates the skin. Several acne cleansers contain detergents, chemicals and other harsh ingredients that can end up making your acne worse.

A mild cleanser will help relieve your acne symptoms without irritating or over-drying your skin.
