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.

Along with what others have said so far… Harsh face washes can irritate the skin and increase inflation associated with acne. From personal experience, I have noticed blemishes that were very small grow to be considerably larger and more noticeable after irritating the skin around them.
Maybe consider more gentle skin cleaners/application methods. Particularly products without high concentration acids or bases if your skin is especially sensitive… Also, oil free moisturizers helped me a lot.
Hope this helps
