I'm using neutrogena daily scrub acne wash and I was wondering if a cleanser was different, like if it has the beads in it or not. I use the scrub at night but I wonder if I need something else for the mornings? I'm not sure if its wise to use two things with beads in it or not.

They have different purposes, cleanser is suppose to cleanse your skin (oil, makeup, dust, etc.), scrub's purpose it to exfoliate, remove deal skin cells so your skin can actually absorb the skincare that you apply & boost renewal cycle, but I don't recommend a physical scrub that you are using, chemical exfoliant is much more gentle yet more effective (Ex: dermalogica gentle cream exfoliant, REN glycolatic mask), it basically dissolve your dead skin cells with a chemical reaction. If you insist on physical scrub, use 1 that has mirco, tiny beads, it does less harm to your skin.
