What's the connection between cleaninsing and acne?

OK, I will probably be persecuted for this question but it seems to me by reading through the forums that cleansing actually has caused much more sever acne???? Is there a flaw in this technique or are some people allergic to what they are using to cleanse? I'm really a person that looks for answers to questions and I'm not trying to "rock the boat" but it seems I am seeing it over and over again..................
