My Acne Info

Using a dirty washcloth does not cause acne. However, if you have acne and then repeatedly use the same unclean washcloth for cleansing, the bacteria that remains on the cloth may spread and cause new breakouts and could possibly make your existing breakouts worse.

We recommend that you launder your washcloths at least every other day. It is also helpful to wash other items frequently that come into contact with your acne, such as pillowcases, sheets, and comforters.


More than likely, if you are a teenager going through puberty, when male or female hormones are still changing randomly and haphazardly, your acne will go away when hormone levels become more consistent.

During pregnancy, it is also very common for acne problems to become more prominent and suddenly, after pregnancy, seem to disappear. This again is related to hormonal changes related to normal body physiology.

Most patients who suffer from acne as teenagers can expect acne to become less active in their mid to late 20's as hormone levels become more consistent and teen stress begins to subside. However, 30% of adults do continue to suffer from acne, making it important for them to find the best acne treatment available. Reversion Acne Control can help those who suffer from adult acne by presenting a long term solution to acne breakouts.
