eli5 Why does some face wash bring out more acne even if it considered harsher for you skin?

776 views

I’ve noticed that with some face wash I get more acne after use and I was just wondering if it just pulls all of the dirt up that wasn’t noticable before or if there was some other cause. Sorry if the tag doesn’t fit btw. I wasn’t sure which one fit this better.

Acne skin is really sensitive. Chemicals can make inflamation and swelling worse. You can also get an allergic reaction that can cause symptoms that seem to make the acne worse but are not actually acne.
