    I been trying to find something that works. I never had issues with acne but the last 2 years I been dealing with more and more bumps and no matter what I try and use, it don't go away. Seems the more I wash, the worse it gets. Growing up I hardly ever used soap on my face. I just rinsed with water and used a toner to remove make-up. I am starting to wonder if the soap is causing a PH balance issue or something. I am also looking for a new serum or cream for my face, one that won't cause more pimples.

    I actually have the pump lotion stuff. I use it on my arms and lower legs when they get dry and it helps. Not sure if it would give me issues on my face though. I am going to stop using soap and see what happens. Maybe once everything is balanced again, I can start using this on my face.

    Great idea. I haven't used a pump lotion in years, but there are challenges with the other bottles as well.

    I think it is. Soap is made of different things that facial cleanser is made of.

    When I say soap, I do mean stuff for the face. I have tried regular lines, off brand, organic, etc. but nothing helps. It seems to make things worse. Since posting this, I stopped washing with soap at all. I only use water and I got a spray/mist for my face with some good stuff to help the skin. I used it a few times and haven't noticed my breakout getting worse. It seems to be healing. Maybe I am just having reactions to the soap I been using. Going to keep this up for a few weeks and see how my skin does. I use one of them scrub gloves for exfoliating as well and just do it gentle and dry.
