Acne product makes skin worse, then better?

Alright, I have mild/moderate acne. I am using two clean %26amp; clear products---the foaming facial cleanser that kills the bacteria (triclosan, .25%) and a deep cleaning astringent that is supposed to prevent and treat acne pimples. (basic salicylic acid, 2.0%) (Liquid that is applied to cotton ball) I can feel it working cause it stings my skin, and I feel very clean and refreshed after using it. Is this a good combo, first of all?





Second, my mom went to skin school for three years and I am heeding her advice. She tells me that it is good for some products to make your skin worse in the first weeks (by bringing out the impurities in your skin, thus creating pimples and whiteheads), then after about a week or so, your skin should completely clear up. Is this true? Because the day after using, I got some breakouts on my face. I am washing my face two times a day with this combo, drinking a lot of water, and keeping my hands off my face as best as I can.





Thanks for any advice.

I would recommend a product called Clear Now. It's similar to proactiv but I have found that it works way better.

Reply:Yes, it needs to clear out all the bacteria and dirt in your pores completly first, then it will prevent and keep you clear. That's how all acne products should work... that way you know its doing its job.
