When building your skin care routine, the last thing on your mind is probably picking out a face wash or cleanser. After all, what’s the point in fussing over a product that’s on your face for less than a minute, then washed off immediately?<\/p>\n

Well, it actually does matter! According to\u00a0Dr. Shasa Hu<\/a>, M.D., Associate Professor of Dermatology and dr. brandt\u00ae Skincare Advisor, “…when formulated with appropriate pH and vehicle, cleansers can effectively decongest pores and degrease the skin.”<\/p>\n

But be careful to not choose any old cleanser that claims to feature anti-aging ingredients or offers a “deeper” cleanse.\u00a0“First of all, cleansers come into contact with our skin for only minutes at best, so the chance of a cleanser with expensive ‘anti-aging’ ingredients to be potent enough to improve collagen and elastin is very slim.\u00a0Another common misconception about cleansers is that you get a ‘deeper’ cleaning when you use cleansers with beads or physical scrubs,” says Dr. Hu.<\/p>\n

Instead, you want to find a cleanser that not only works with your skin type (whether you’re dry or oily) but also “…[leaves] your skin feeling soft, smooth, but not tight or dry.”<\/p>\n

From foam to gel cleansers and cleansing balms, we break down which cleanser works best for your skin type. You can find these cleansers in\u00a0reFills<\/a>. All you do is pick the product you want during your Customization window<\/a>, and we’ll automatically replenish it for you every season. And by signing up for reFills, you\u2019re getting the product at an incredible price (between 55%-75% off the retail value). Learn more about the program at fff.me\/refills<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n<\/s><\/strong><\/h3>\n

“Gel cleansers are good options for people with oily skin as gel vehicles are more compatible [with] certain AHA\/BHA actives,” advises Dr. Hu. If you’re dealing with congested pores, use this cleanser to break down oil and sebum for smoother-looking skin.<\/p>\n

As for dry skin, Dr. Hu shares, “For people with dry, sensitive or mature skin, lotion cleansers are a great start to the skin care routine, as most lotion cleansers are gentler on the skin.” This ultra-nourishing cleansing balm is infused with sweet almond oil and vitamin E to remove all makeup while and conditioning dry skin.<\/p>\n

Sensitive Skin:\u00a0<\/strong>Grown Alchemist Gentle Gel Cleanser\u00a0$12.60\u00a0$39
