In reply to Lina. Lina, yes you can use oils to restore the acid mantle. I recommend gentle facial cleansers for this. You can find my fave in the post. It's all clearly explained above. :)

Hi Gio, do the use of oils (like Argan or jojoba) help to restore the acid mantle? And in case of damaged acid mantle is better to was the face just with water or with a gentle cleanser? Thank you!

Oh and I have also an other question. So it is okay to wash your face with just water or it would be better to use the gentle cleanser?

Hi Gio, when the acid mantle is disrupted does it help touse oils or serum or moisturiser with omega fatty acid? Thank you

In reply to T. T, as long as you use an oil-free moisturiser like CeraVe PM lotion, you shouldn't experience breakouts.

Hi Gio, in the case that the acid mantle is disrupted causing acne and irritation, will the moisturizing exacerbate the acne? I’m afraid to use moisturizers because I’m afraid my oil production will go haywire causing more breakout. Excessive oil production was the original reason why I have over exfoliated wrecking my acid mantle. Any help will truly be appreciated. Thank you!
