Battle for Your Best Face Wash
Gel vs. foam vs. water vs oil. With so many different kinds of cleansers, it can be hard to determine which cleanser will work best for your skin type.
Introducing “battle of the face wash” — to save you from testing out multiple cleanser options!
Gel cleansers have a gel-like consistency not common in a normal face wash, which provides the skin with so many benefits. Gel cleansers work especially well for acne-prone skin as it helps to unclog pores and deep clean the skin, getting rid of dirt, excess oil, makeup, and acne-causing bacteria. A lot of gel cleansers also have a cooling effect, which makes them very soothing for problematic and acne-prone skin.

Foam Cleanser
Foaming cleansers are an option that work well for oily skin types. Foaming cleansers get into your pores for a deep clean while also providing light exfoliation for further skin cleansing. People with dry or sensitive skin should avoid foaming cleansers as they can be irritating and drying.
Cleansing Water
Cleansing water is the most gentle yet most effective way of removing makeup and cleansing your skin (it even works wonders on waterproof mascara). Cleansing water is most often micellar water. Micellar water contains molecules that actually help to pull makeup, dirt, and oil out of your pores like a magnet. Cleansing water is also very hydrating and soothing for the skin, making it a great option for those with dry and or sensitive skin, but it works on all skin types. Cleansing water is a 3-in-1 product that takes the place of makeup remover, facial cleanser, and toner!
Oil Cleanser
Oil cleansers work especially well for oily skin. We know — that sounds crazy! Oil cleansers are great face washes that keep the skin hydrated, so there’s no need for your pores to overproduce their own oil. For more obvious reasons, oil cleansers also work well for dry skin. Oil cleanser effectively breaks down hard-to-remove makeup and perfectly cleanses the skin without causing dryness and damage.
