Can irritating skin on face make acne worse?

i use a lot of products on my face and sometimes it starts to burn after and my face is sometimes red. My skin also become very dry. Can it give me more acne if I irritate skin??????Can irritating skin on face make acne worse?
Not really. The irritation is caused by the acids and alcohols in the products you are using. Yes, you can use them too much. You are burning the skin. It won't increase your acne, but it can lead to other issues such as scarring, infection and premature ageing.


Every single time you use a product, you should be using a moisturizer. Some products will irritate mildly and will be relieved by a moisturizer but if it is really bugging you then you are likely having a reaction.


Read your labels and compare the products you are using. You may find there are similar ingredients in the ones that are really bothering your skin. Don't use those products again. Use of multiple products will cause more damage than good. Find one product that does the job and stick with it. If you are finding it a difficult task, consult a dermatologist. For people with serious acne (in numbers or in type of acne) there are some prescription medications that can solve the problem.


My niece recently went on an 8 week prescription pill through her dermatologist that wiped out her severe acne. She was dried up like a prune and used eye drops, lip balm, moisturizer and drank a ton of water to help relieve the discomfort. But she has beautiful skin now and it was worth the 8 weeks of dryness for her.


I wish you much success and good health.Can irritating skin on face make acne worse?
Absolutely! It's what the dermatologist said to me and my son. When we stopped doing all the ';steps'; and stopped using Proactive we got completely better. The doctor said to use Cetaphil to wash with two times a day. It's a non-soap and very gentle. You can buy it at the market or Target. Also I think we eat better, more nutritiously. Drink more water. So, yes, yes, yes, irritating your skin is not good and yes it can make acne worse. Be gentle.
Oh definitely. The more product you use on your face the more it dries out the more oil it produces which causes acne. I reccomend you try neutrogena or clean and clear to help out with your skin. And only wash your face 2 times a day - after you wake up and before you go to bed. Hope I helped!
If it makes your skin dry it takes away the oils so you probably wont get more acne if your skin isnt oily.
