Does regular exfoliation help acne?

I'm using neutrogena acne therapy system, it works well, but I have acne marks. Will exfoliating my face help the acne and marks go away? I would be using St. Ives apricot scrub.


Thanks =)Does regular exfoliation help acne?
I think exfoliation irritates acneDoes regular exfoliation help acne?
Yeah, it helps my acne go away by removing more dirt, oil and dead skin cells.
You can exfoliate daily if you want although it depends on your skin type. don't over irritate it if you are sensitive. Just remember to moisturize with a non-oil based lotion. I like to use those asian cloth exfoliation glove things. Works great. Believe me, if you exfoliate daily and moisturize immediately afterwards with a good lotion you'll notice the additional benefit right away.





Acne is created by clogged pores and the bacteria that live in them. And those bacteria create the clogged pores so it's a vicious circle. If you dry your skin out, it'll also clog the pores. So the best way is to clean your pores often and exfoliation helps that. Moisturizing helps keep your skin naturally moist so that oils from your pores can come out. And washing it daily or twice a day helps keep the oils from drying out and clogging your pores.





Think of skin care as constantly keeping your pores clog free and your skin moist. And also keeping it away from sun damage.
exfoliating will def help get rid of dry skin or flake skin and then scars will become less apparent like in a chemical peel, all they do is peel off dead skin and poof bye bye acne scars. make sure you moisturize! =]
I use the same scrub and I use it once a week. It will work, but don't use it too much, it'll dry out your skin.

Yes it would make the acne go away but not the scars. You would have to use some type of skin renewal serum for that. But apricot scrubs are waaay to harsh on anyones skin. You should use an acne medicated exfoliator. And even though you have oily skin, you should always moisturize to prevent further irritation.





Theres a product called Murad. Also Patricia Wexler's acne line worked wonders for me!
