Using Accare face wash can help cleanse excess oil and dirt, but a face wash alone is usually not enough to fully treat acne. For better results, you may need an additional treatment such as a topical gel containing benzoyl peroxide (for active pimples) or adapalene (to prevent new breakouts), applied at night. Use a light, oil-free moisturiser and sunscreen during the day. If acne is persistent, consult a dermatologist for a proper treatment plan.

I have pimples and red spots on my face and chest. What treatment would you recommend?

Pimples and red spots on the face and chest are usually due to acne caused by excess oil, sweat, or hormonal changes. Wash the area twice daily with a gentle acne face wash containing salicylic acid, avoid squeezing pimples, and use a light, non-oily moisturiser. Applying a topical gel with benzoyl peroxide or adapalene at night can help reduce inflammation and new breakouts. Wear loose cotton clothes and keep the chest area clean and dry. If acne is severe, painful, or leaving marks, consult a dermatologist for stronger prescription treatment.

I am experiencing mild pimples on my face. How can I get rid of them effectively?

Mild pimples can usually be controlled with simple skincare. Wash your face twice daily with a gentle cleanser (preferably one with salicylic acid), avoid touching or squeezing pimples, and use a light, oil-free moisturiser and sunscreen. Also, limit oily/junk foods, stay hydrated, and manage stress. If pimples persist or worsen, consult a dermatologist for proper treatment.
