Do i need to exfoliate if i have acne?

I have bad acne myself... i don't use make up because it only makes matters worse... especially because it clogs your pores... which causes more back up in your skin.... but yes you should exfoliate.. but only about once a week if that... maybe once every other week. being to harsh on your skin can cause your oils to become excessive... trying to make up for the over dryness. But i would try a gentle scrub... and use lots of moisturizer... its the best thing for your skin. I use neutrogena.. and i love it... i tried everything.. proactive skin ID and like clinique and a bunch of crap nothing really works .. it does for a little then my face is back to normal. I would try the sonic wave... and use the regular cleaning pads daily.. (if your face gets to dry then every other day) then ad a scrub directly to the pad for your exfoliation..,. i would try it... that's what i do... and it seems to be working well.... i also use the topical gel epiduo .. but its that thing like " blame biology" but ask your Dr. about it... that's where i got mine... i got worse before i showed signs of getting better... hope this helps!
