Neutrogena Deep Clean Foaming Cleanser Oil Control Face Foam Wash 100g Made in Thailand

Product Information

Editor Tip: One of our testers previously called out this award-winning gel cleanser for its gentle, non-stripping feel on skin, which was a savior for her sensitive and acne-prone skin. "Gels can sometimes leave my skin super dry, but not so with this — must be the aloe leaf juice powder they blended into the formula," she said. Both chemical exfoliants (like salicylic acid and glycolic acid) and physical exfoliants (like scrubs and motorized brushes) can be very effective at removing dead skin cells, dirt, and other gunk that can clog pores. “Exfoliating can help remove dead cells that accumulate on the surface of the skin to improve skin radiance,” Dr. Zeichner explains. But when overused, they can actually disrupt the delicate skin barrier that keeps your face hydrated and protected, causing irritated, flaky, dry skin. So, most of us should not exfoliate more than a few times per week. And those with sensitive or dry skin may only want to exfoliate once or twice a month. Only wash your face as often as you have to.

If you have combination skin then a gel is a perfect middle ground of nourishing for drier skin, while being lightweight and refreshing enough for those oilier parts. They can be used at any time of day, but make great morning cleansers. Use on damp skin and work in before rinsing. 7. Cream and milk cleansers Editor Tip: Our dermatologist friends also name this bottle as one of the best face washes on the market. Elyse Love, MD, a board-certified dermatologist based in New York City, says it's "a great go-to cleanser for colder months that cleanses skin without stripping the skin." Mamina Turegano, MD, a board-certified dermatologist based in New Orleans, Louisiana, is a fan of this particular formula for dry skin. And, remember that you should always be wearing a daily sunscreen with broad spectrum protection and at least SPF 30. If your daytime moisturizer doesn’t have that, apply a sunscreen on top. “The SPF will help protect all the hard work you’ve been putting into your skin care,” Dr. Garden says. You may need a makeup remover in addition to your cleanser.When it comes to fine lines, board-certified dermatologist and founder of Mitchell Dermatology, Hope Mitchell, M.D., advises selecting a face wash that contains hyaluronic acid, retinol, vitamin C, or glycolic acid. All of these ingredients work to minimize the appearance of fine lines in different ways (for example: Hyaluronic acid plumps the skin to fill in wrinkles, while retinol speeds up the cell renewal process). CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser (which contains hyaluronic acid) and Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta AHA/BHA Daily Cleansing Gel (which is made with glycolic acid) are excellent options to turn to for this reason. On the other hand, if acne is your main concern, then Dr. Mitchell recommends incorporating products with salicylic acid, glycolic acid, or benzoyl peroxide to gently exfoliate and deeply cleanse any acne-causing bacteria. PanOxyl Acne Foaming Wash with Benzoyl Peroxide and Differin Daily Refreshing Cleanser are powerful cleansers that can help fight those breakouts. Our tester with sensitive, reactive skin shared that the face wash felt soft and gentle on her face, and while it wasn’t super effective at removing makeup, it did do a nice job at cleansing without creating a tight feeling. It’s a basic, affordable face wash that’s effective and non-irritating on dry and sensitive skin, but if you’re looking to remove makeup as well, we suggest using a makeup remover first. Additionally, it helps prevent premature aging by removing dead skin cells which can cause wrinkles over time. Deep cleaning also encourages cell turnover so that new healthy cells are produced faster for brighter more radiant-looking skin. Which face wash is best for deep cleaning? Fun fact: Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser is actually the very first product Cetaphil came out with when the brand launched in 1947. Since then, they’ve had 75 years to tweak, adjust, and perfect the formula, which we are happy to report they successfully did. Inside, you’ll find a variety of good-for-your-skin ingredients, like hydrating glycerin, vitamin B5, and vitamin B3, without all the bad-for-you elements like sulfates and parabens (and for anyone with sensitive skin, this is fragrance-free as well). A cross between a gel and a cream, it immediately provides skin with a burst of hydration and seamlessly rinses away dirt, makeup, and pollution. Despite having such a simple formula, our tester noticed her complexion was completely rejuvenated. “My skin looked a little brighter — like I had more of a bronze to me as sunlight hit,” she says. “I felt so hydrated after rinsing this off, too, that I feel like I could skip moisturizer.”

While she personally loved the tropical fragrance, which is derived from plant extracts, we know fragrances can be undesirable for some people, so we would love to see a fragrance-free option. You probably know the perils of falling asleep with a full face of makeup (acne and dullness, for instance). But your gentle cleanser may not be up to the task of removing all that makeup, especially if your products contain mineral SPF ingredients or oil. Misumi Pore Purifying Toner can be used after cleansing with all types of skin because its formula includes witch hazel which helps remove excess sebum without overdrying while also reducing redness caused by irritation or breakouts. It's an ideal product if you have combination or normal skin since it balances out moisture levels while keeping pores clean and free of clogs. Acne Prone Skin While we absolutely recommend this product to anyone looking for a solid hydrating cleanser, some online reviewers say they’ve found comparable options on the market for a more affordable price. Overall, if you're looking for an effective yet gentle deep-cleaning facial wash then La Roche Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel Cleanser is a perfect choice. It'll give your complexion some much-needed TLC without breaking the bank.

The short answer is: there’s no right answer. If you’re not wearing makeup, you likely won’t need to double cleanse unless you’re having trouble breaking down stubborn SPF. However, if you are wearing makeup and you typically use a cream or milky cleanser, it likely won’t do a thorough enough job at breaking down and completely removing your makeup. In that case, we recommend starting with an oil-based cleanser, like a cleansing balm, to break down your makeup and following up with your usual face wash to cleanse your skin. Misumi Pore Purifying Toner is an excellent choice for those looking to deep clean their face while keeping skin hydrated and refreshed. The nighttime wash is basically the beginner’s guide to skin care when it comes to caring for your skin, and it holds true even if you don’t wear makeup. “During the day, natural oils and sweat accumulate on the skin,” Dr. Zeichner says. “We are exposed to the environment, which means that dirt and pollution build up on our outer skin layer.” Not removing all of this dirt and gunk at the end of the day can cause skin irritation, inflammation, and acne breakouts. When searching for the best pore cleanser, Deanne Robinson, M.D., a Connecticut-based dermatologist, recommends looking for products that include alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) or beta hydroxy acid (BHA) such as salicylic or glycolic acid, retinol, clay, and charcoal. "You want to look for chemical exfoliants like these acids, but also be sure the accompanying ingredients are non-comedogenic [won't clog pores] and overall free of oils." This gentle hydrating cleanser is trusted by our board of dermatologists to deeply cleanse all skin types, even sensitive skin. The formula effectively removes make up and deeply eliminates impurities. This cleanser is also proven to minimise enlarged pores & irregular skin texture, all while protecting your skin barrier.
