Here's an idea for anyone whose cat suffers from recurrent or seasonal
kitty acne. Despite removing plastic and stainless steel bowls and
daily washing of the ceramic ones, Tucker will still have outbreaks.

I did a little digging online and found this suggestion in several
places: Sensitive skin Stridex pads. I've been using one on Tucker
once per day, and they're really helping! Please note that I said the
*sensitive skin* version. These contain aloe and no alcohol (unlike
other variations of Stridex). I've used them on my own skin and they
do not dry it out--and my skin is quite sensitive.

Do you need to rinse residue in case he licks at his fur there? Is there any
residue?

This could be a great option for stubborn kitty acne, but I'd be a little
worried about them licking their fur.

I haven't noticed any residue when I use the pads, nor does Tucker try
to lick the area. I suppose after using the pad you could take a
cotton ball wet with warm water to wash anything off, if you'd like.
