Needing a New Cleanser!!

My skin is relatively normal with occasional minor breakouts. I am looking for a new acne cleanser because I think my skin is used to my current routine. I use the Murad clarifying cleanser so my skin can handle harsh ingredients. The stronger the better! Recommendations welcome!!

the Peter Thomas Roth Anti aging cleansing gel has been a personal favourite for yeeeears! I also have pretty normal skin with breakouts from time to time

I like Sunday Riley Ceramic Slip.

Hi! 

 

I would recommend Philosophy's Purity cleanser, followed by something like the Skinceuticals AHA toner. The toner is really good for preventing breakouts and Purity won't strip too much of the natural oil from your skin. Also of course always follow up with a moisturizer!!!

RE: Needing a New Cleanser!!

Try the Tata Harper Purifying Cleanser. It leaves your face feeling super clean but it won’t be as stripping as what you’ve been using. Use it in a dry face and remove it with a wet wash cloth.

@wej4 I just have to weigh in and rec FAB Face Cleanser 🙂

RE: Needing a New Cleanser!!

Almost everything makes my skin itch. However, I’ve been using the Deep Dive cleanser from Tarte and it’s been so good to me. It removes makeup well and it makes my skin so soft and dewy, which is exactly what I want in the winter.

honestly I use the fresh soy cleanser, I have sensitive skin. it actually clears up my skin of acne and moisturizes. also it's safe to use on your eye lids. it smells amazing too.

Re: Needing a New Cleanser!!

I would second the suggestion about Kate Somerville's products (the Exfolikate Daily Cleanser and the Acne cleanser) for acne. However, unless you're having lots of breakouts, I would use them only a few times a week rather than daily because they can be drying. For daily use, I would recommend a creamy cleanser like Fresh Soy Cleanser or Korres Yoghurt Cream Cleanser. If you want to stick with Murad, the Renewing Cleansing Cream looks like a good option.

 

Good luck!

RE: Needing a New Cleanser!!

My skin loves the Kate Somerville cleansers. I use the daily cleanser (the green one) day and night. It’s gentle but effective. I also use the EradiKate cleanser (pink one) occasionally only when needed to deal with small breakouts. I use both with my Clarisonic and my skin responds well. Good luck!

RE: Needing a New Cleanser!!

I really enjoy the fresh soy cleanser. It's really gentle and it tones the skin as well.

Re: Needing a New Cleanser!!

I agree with @susanatx. Gentle cleansers are usually much better for your skin. I'm a big fan of double cleansing, starting with a cleansing oil like Shiseido's Perfect Cleansing Oil and following with a gentle cream cleanser like Philosophy's Purity. Then adding exfoliators or serums to tackle any trouble spots. 

RE: Needing a New Cleanser!!

Harsh cleansers might be making any breakouts worse. If you have normal skin then maybe try something more gentle. I’m a big believer in balms and cleansing oils
