Is it bad if I wash my face 4-5 times a day? I have bad acne and am trying to get rid of it. Is this helping it or making it worse?

You're making it worse, because by stripping your skin of all that oil you are not only aggravating it, but also making it produce more.

it depends, most products require only twice a day, dont overuse or your body will get used to it, making it not effective

you're deff making it worse.
like Lulamae said, washing more counteracts what you';re trying to do and makes it oilier

Twice is good enough. Once in the morning, once at night. I used to have horrible acne. I went to the dermatologist and he gave me a load of things to use in the morning and night and now I'm acne free.

I'm not sure if it's making it worse but really you're not helping it any. 3 times is max I'd say.

If you do that make sure you rinse well, as a layer of caked on soap causes more acne.

There is no reason to wash your face that much. Your going to make it worse. Just wash it once in the morning, and once at night. that's what I do and my skin is a lot better then it was a year ago when I washed my face about 4 times a day.

Yes, it is bad to wash your face so much.  It doesn't help your acne problem; it might even make it worse.  Only wash once in the morning and once at night.  That's enough.

I hope I live to tell the tale.
