Yes, it can, and using too many acne products can make your acne worse.





Beware of using any products for acne unless they have been prescribed or recommended by your doctor. People make all kinds of suggestions about the best thing to do to cure acne. Some cures I’ve heard include putting oatmeal, honey, lemon juice, tea tree oil, cucumber, vinegar, milk of magnesia or toothpaste on your face. Practically every cosmetics company and company that makes personal care products makes something that is a “sure cure” for acne. If we think about this, and use some common sense, we have to come to the conclusion that there is no quick or easy cure for acne, because if there was it would be well known and doctors would be telling everyone about it.





Numerous companies make a lot of money persuading people to buy products that at worst will make the acne worse, and at best may help some people a little. Often fewer products are better. People often make their acne much worse by using too many products. There really is no quick fix for acne. Don’t spend a lot of money on products just because their ads say that they will cure acne. Your doctor is the best person to ask for help, and he or she may recommend some prescription medication or non-prescription treatment that may be suitable for you..





There are some very simple and basic things you can do that cost nothing. Keep your face or any other area affected by acne very clean. Any mild antibacterial soap will help with that. Rinse the area well to remove all soap residue. Drink plenty of water – it really does help to clear up acne. Eat a nutritious diet and get enough sleep. A healthy life style will make a difference. Try to reduce the stress in your life – stress contributes to acne, so also probably the more you worry about the acne and focus on it, the worse it will be.





Probably the most useful and effective things you can do are to apply hot compresses to pustules and cysts and never to pick or squeeze pimples. Playing with or popping pimples, no matter how careful and clean you are, nearly always makes bumps stay redder and bumpier longer.

Can using to many acne treatments leave skin discolaration or dryness?
It shouldnt have any skin discoloration, if it does, you need to get that checked, unless of course its red from rashes or whatever.





washing your face to much period can leave dryness.


you should only wash your face twice a day, cause actually washing it more, and make it break out, because the pores are so open and clean, its like a dirt magnet.





I wouldnt mix products either, especially acne free %26amp; proactive. i use 2 different types on in the morning and one at night.


but switching from so many, can be unhealthy for your face.





i would just check online or with dermatologist if you should be mixing.
Dryness definitely, discoloration i don't know but i've used a lot of products in the past and my skin has slight discoloration which is fading away now but don't know if it's from that or spending too much time in the sun, cos that can lead to discoloration as well.
Don't know about discoloration, but definitely dryness. If you have normal to dry skin already, using too much of a product with too much benzoyl peroxide or salicyclic acid can definitely dry it out even more. Try products with only 2% Benzoyl.
i use clearasil too


it works; it clears the skin but not the acne scars =]


and too many products can only dry your skin, nothing else that i know of.
Defidently can dry out your skin, leading to further breakouts.





personally, clearasil made my acne worse.
you shouldnt use all of them at once, but one at a time should be fine until you find the one that works best for your skin.
