Ouch, some interesting thoughts about acne treatment:

"Clearsil's 3 in 1 face wash [...] is a somewhat schizophrenic mixture of heavy-duty detergents and solvents that remove the skin's natural oils, and synthetic skin conditioners designed to repair some of the damage the detergents and solvents inflict on the skin. In addition, it contains a range of well-known skin irritants, two potential carcinogens and five fragrance ingredients that are among the most commonly reported contact allergens in the EU. These fragrance ingredients so consistently produce skin problems that they must now be listed separately on the label."
