Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and sulfur are two ingredients that remove dead skin cells that clog pores, Mokaya says.

A face wash can get rid of dirt and oil that clog pores and lead to acne. It can also help break down makeup and other cosmetics that could lead to breakouts if left on the skin. Face washes may also contain anti-inflammatory and antibacterial ingredients that reduce inflammation and fight acne-causing bacteria.
