they dont use cleanser because they never had acne so why would they

I envy those who can wear makeup, forget to wash it off!...and don't break out...or those who can buy any old cheap crap at the dollar store and it works. Lucky them!

So they don't breakout dude. Idk maybe the water-only regimen will work, seeing even the mildest cleanser (cetaphil) has comedogenic ingredients.

yes be gentle to the skin. cetaphil is non pore blocking. i have been using it and for me it doesn't clog the pores. everything else i tried did

Before you go attributing all acne to face washes, remember that genetics can play a big part in acne production. I have awesome hair that grows like there is no tomorrow while a lot of my friends struggle to grow their hair. I don't always take care of my hair so i know genetics is probably at work here.

With that said, try not washing and see if that helps- it most likely will if your acne is as a result of product use.
