No. The cream is meant to saturate your skin. Leave it on.

Try washing and moisturizing your face once a day, and use a charcoal exfoliator. A DIY face mask might also help. You can find instructions on how to make them here on wikiHow, or on YouTube.

Look for ones with natural ingredients as they tend to be healthier for your skin. My opinion would be the face cream from the Body Shop as it works best for me. That said, you may have to try different brands to see what works best for you and your skin type.

You may want to try a clay mask as clay will naturally absorb your skin's oil; bentonite clay in particular is good for a gentle, soothing mask. Tea tree oil is often used by herbalists to help with acne, and colloidal oatmeal (basically oatmeal flour) can be used in a bath or mask to soothe itchy skin. A mask made with all three used a few times a week could dramatically help your condition. It is recommended that you use them each separately first. Oh, and don't use a lot of essential oil -- just a drop or two.
