I am thinking about switching to a soap (such as Dove hypoallergenic, unscented beauty bar) instead of a facial clenser such as Clearasil. What are your thoughts?
Dove non-scented , sensitive skin, hypoallergenic, beauty bar treat acne just as well as facial clensers?

Our derm office many times suggests Glyderm wash or MD Forte Level 1 cleanser. These can be found on the internet and you can read about them.
This was on one site, anyway, might be worth looking into.
C L E A N S E (MD Forte) Indulge in a refreshing, clean feeling with MD Forte cleansers. Gentle yet effective cleansers wash away oil, makeup and surface debris without over drying skin. Soap and fragrance free.

No, it doesn’t. Dove’s products are intended for dry skin, not acne-prone skin. They don’t contain any ingredients that fight acne. In fact, the heavy moisturizer in Dove soaps that help those with dry skin would probably cause break-outs in someone with oily/acne-prone skin. Facial cleansers for acne contain specific ingredients like salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, or sulfur to treat break-outs and control oiliness.
