Cleanser for combination skin

I have acne prone and oily skin any good cleansers that will help?

RE: Cleanser for combination skin

Up & up acne wash in the AM or L’Oréal pure clay is pretty good, I’ve heard fresh has some great cleansers as well.

This is still gaining traction, but I think the most important thing to look for in your cleanser is that it doesn't dry out or inflame your skin.

 

Acne is worsened by inflammation and a weakened skin barrier, and your own oil production just increases when the oil that was already there is stripped.  We all know this on some level.. cleansing away skin oil doesn't stop your skin from being oily.

 

I was just putting a skincare ritual together for my acneic, oily-type niece and searched high and wide for cleansers that were not too rich but were still gentle enough.

 

Glow Recipe Mini Blueberry Bounce Gentle Cleanser 1 oz/ 30 mL

is a pretty good one to keep your skin clean without too dry

Bliss makes an "exfoliating glow jelly cleanser" for only $10

belif Aqua Bomb Hydrating Jelly Cleanser 5.41 oz/ 160 mL

is another one

 

I would use a toner to restore some moisture to your skin, and also you can find specific ones to help with light exfoliation, as well as give your skin a nice-feeling finish.  A couple I'd recommend for oily skin

LANEIGE - Essential Power Skin Toner for Combination to Oily Skin

CAUDALIE - Beauty Elixir

BELIF - Bergamot Herbal Extract Toner

BELIF - Hydra Sebum Control Essence

 

good luck! Hope you find something you like

I really like Tatcha The Deep Cleanse or Drunk Elephant JuJu bar
