It may. I know for sure products with parfum isn't good for to use on the face.

Yea , I noticed that a lot of skin care products have fragrance (parfum) and some people might be allergic to it

Not all products do. But if your skin is sensitive i would completely avoid fragrance. This especially applies to products from lush, asian stores, the body shop etc. Its there to smell nice, with no specific purpose. Always go for products that contain "gentle" "soap free" "ph balanced" "fragrance free" 🙂

Should I only wash my face with water then? because I have the Neutrogena ultra gentle daily cleanser and it's has fragrance in it

Are you talking about this one:  http://www.acne.org/neutrogena-extra-gentle-cleanser-reviews-18/  ?? I dont think it has fragrance in it. I used to use this, and it was fine. If its working for you, dont stop using it. Some people have no problem with a little fragrance. Im talking about those really smelly face masks you get from lush that smell like cupcakes. Those mess up your skin.

Companies like cetaphil, neutrogena and aveeno dont usually have high amounts of fragrance in them :) 

No , I'm using this one  http://www.neutrogena.com/product/ultra+gentle+daily+cleanser.do   and you can see fragrance (parfum) in the ingredients

I actually think that one should be fine. It depends on the amount of fragrance though. It's like the last ingredient. Is it breaking you out though?

well I don't really breakout , I do get whiteheads but I never had bad acne (cysts)....my biggest problems is that for the last 3 years or more I've had these red blotchy bumps . You can't really see them but you can see them after I take a shower , sweat (workout) ,wash my face , when I'm hot or shy and my face turns all red. They don't really look like pimples. They don't have puss and they're not painful...

I think your skin is irritated, try aloe vera gel. When I threaded my brows for the first time, my skin was super irritated and I had bumps like that on my forehead. Took 2 weeks before they went away. And I didn't have aloe.

i have this for like 2-3 years , it should've been gone long time ago if yours took 2 weeks :( ... before they were less noticeable because it was under the skin so my cheek would only look red but now it's on the surface and it's red and bumpy

Maybe the perfume in the cleanser triggered it? Or some type of food caused it.

I don't know , tbh I had better skin before , when I didn't use anything on my face. My twin sister doesn't use any skin care product and has better skin than mine. Sometimes I think about stop using them but I don't know if my skin will get worse and I don't want that :o

yea , I'm thinking about that ....I'll only wash my face with water and moisturize ,I don't see the point of using a cleanser ....what's aloe gel? a moisturizer? and where can I get tea tree oil? is that a spot treatment? that's a lot of questions lol :P

Sorry i think i misread everything on here. You said they were under the skin before? It seems like you are purging. Aloe vera will still help. But you're better off applying BP until they all dry off, or getting a retinoid from your doctor. IF these were bumps before, and now its turning into pimples that is 100% normal and a good thing. Sorry i misread everything. I dont think the cleanser is causing this, your skin is probably purging toxins out.

Yes , they were under the skin before now it's on the surface but it just red theres no white stuff. back in september a doctor prescribe me ''clindoxyl gel'' that I had to use for a month and it didn't do anything

actually the ''clindoxyl gel'' helped with a few whiteheads and scars ....but not with the red bumps. Steaming my face will only make the bumps look more red. I used to do it before

Thought I was the only one that steaming did that to.

Is it really important to use a cleanser? I'll try to wash my face only with water and moisturize ... my natural oils will probably help to moiturize my sensitive skin

It's important to wash your face period. But a lot of people have said water only worked for them, you just have to be patient. And moisturize, yes.

I havereally dry skin but I think using skin care produtcs made my skin overproduce oil...even water could make my skin dry. Is there anything natural at home that I can use as cleanser? ...I washed my face with only water this morning and itdoesn't feel dry nor oily , feels just right ...I'll use sugar as scrub once a week to remove the dead skin.

You know what, maybe your acne and redness could be due to your skincare routine if your face feels dry after washing it with water! Why not go all out with the caveman regimen for even one month and see if it clears you? Didn't do it for me, however a lot of people on here have cured their acne! Thelovevitamin.com has great tips for natural products! 

Yup , I'll try to wash my face with only water for a few weeks to let my skin heal and see the results . After , I'll probably try all natural products :)

Do you guys think It might be an allergic reaction ? .... I just saw this ( http://belinspired.blogspot.ca/2015/01/kate-somerville-oil-free-moisturizer.html ) and she pretty much had what I have now
