Cleansers 101: Finding the Right Wash for Your Skin Type

Cleansing sets the tone for everything that follows. Too harsh and your barrier complains; too weak and makeup or sunscreen linger.

Match cleanser to skin type

• Dry or sensitive: cream or milky cleansers
• Combination or oily: gentle foaming gels
• Makeup days: consider a wipe-off or oil step, then a water-based wash

Shop Cleansers

Our Cleansers category includes everyday face washes from Rexsol and Relife. Look for formulas that leave skin soft, not squeaky.

Morning cleanse can be lighter; evenings can be more thorough when you wear SPF or makeup. Pat dry and moisturize while skin is slightly damp.
