Amanda,
I wash my face at night with a cotton pad and cool water. Sometimes it takes two or three pads, but I wipe it very gently and never use soap. All my life, I had great skin and never any worries... until 2nd child and in late 30's. Suddenly my face became very sensitive and everything I was using felt like it was tearing my skin apart. I was diagnosed with Rosacea which increases the red pigment inmy face, but it also helps to develop bad pimple like cysts around my hair line and occasionally on my face. Those are very painful but since I started on the prescribed topical cream -metronazidol and the daily antibiotic meds (minocycline), things have improved dramatically. I use a liquid exfoliater for my face that has zero amount of partices in it - as it would likely tear up my skin again. I use it 2 x a day and it does help a lot!
Before I was able to determin what is going on, you should really see a skin doctor. But in the meantime, all i can say is that the cotton pad does a great job and leaves little mess.
good luck and let me know you are doing
