face cleanser vs face wash: what’s the difference?
cleansers & washes clean the face of dirt & oil. a cleanser removes makeup & sunscreen while supporting the skin with ingredients that treat & moisturize. a face wash may refine & exfoliate. both options may be used daily am & pm depending on skin types & needs & can come in a variety of textures such as a cleansing foam, liquid, scrub, or balm.
what is the best face wash for my skin type?
oily skin
look for a cleanser that sweeps oil from the pores & balances without stripping the skin.
we recommend:
clear days ahead oil-free salicylic acid acne treatment cleanser
pore purifying foam cleanser
sensitive skin
a face cleanser for sensitive skin replenishes & nourishes the skin barrier as it removes dirt, sunscreen, & makeup.
we recommend:
purity one-step facial cleanser
normal/combination/dry skin:
look for a cleanser that removes dirt & oil while it hydrates & smoothes the skin.
we recommend:
microdelivery exfoliating daily facial wash
purity one-step facial cleanser
how often should you wash your face?
wash your face thoroughly every evening by massaging your cleanser into your skin for 30-60 seconds before rinsing with water. depending on your skin type, repeat in the am.
what is the best face wash for acne?
a pore-clearing cleanser with an ingredient like salicylic acid is best for treating acne. our clear days ahead cleanser reduces acne-causing bacteria & cleanses without stripping the skin.
