Hey i was wondering what type of acne i had. The left and right side of my face has broken out. I have been using Cetaphil cleasner

and it has not been doing anyhting at all. The left side of my face isnt even budging. THe right side of my face on the other hand is slowly clearing up. Tomorrow i am going to go buy Clean and Clear Morning burst seeing as it has worked wonders for my acne before.

Can anyone please help me? This is the worst my acne has ever been. The first picture is the left side of my face while the second is the right.

What else are you using or doing for your skin?

Using cetaphil cleanser alone probably won't help as it doesn't have any 'acne fighting' ingredient to treat your acne. Looking for a product that includes salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide will likely help you acne more.

Cetaphil cleanser is still a relatively good option for a gentle cleanser for people who are using an acne treatment along with it - like a benzoyl peroxide gel (e.g. for the acne.org regimen) etc.

I googled that clean and clear cleanser and as far as I can tell it doesn't have a targeted acne ingredient either but if it worked for you before, then go for it again!

It looks like normal acne to me. If you haven't tried it already, I would give benzoyl peroxide and/or salicylic acid products a shot!
