Why is my skin breaking out more after I've used a cleanser ?

Asked by Scarlett (915points) October 11th, 2010

So I just recently bought a new cleanser, Neutrogena rapid clear foam cleanser, and it just seemed to give me new pimples instead of healing them…. What gives ?

My acne isn’t severe, maybe 1 or 2 pimples here and there, so I thought using a cleanser for acne would help, but for the past 4 days that I’ve tried this product my skin has gotten worse.

Is it because I’m over washing ?

I don’t know what’s going on, but I feel like this product didn’t help at all. Instead of fighting my acne it just made it worse.

Or do these things take time ? Like if I use this product longer, maybe my skin will get used to it ?

Thoughts?
