cetaphil. Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser, Normal to Oily Skin

JoceyBaby23 · Gucci

I just use Clean and Clear Acne Wash. It really helps my greasy skin!

Grace · Dooney & Bourke

Aveeno makes a nice face wash. I think this is a good drugstore brand in general.

Cortney1982 · Chanel

I use Target cleansing cloths instead of the Olay ones. Target ones are much better. I sometimes also use L'oreal Pure Zone foaming cleanser.

Ritz · Dooney & Bourke

i'd been using cetaphil, but didn't feel like it was preventing breakouts.

so i started using the murad energizing pomegranate cleanser:

Tone as you cleanse with this vitalizing foam wash

and clarifying toner:

Absorb oil and impurities with this cooling formula

and other than two period related pimples right now, havent had a blemish in a month!

Deuce · Dooney & Bourke

I have had great luck with this nutrogena wash.

Pore Refining Cleanser

stylethread · Kenneth Cole

I used the one Fairywings suggested for a while and recently switched to DDF daily facial cleanser. I love my DDF.

kealoha · Kate Spade

I like Freeman's Sheer Moisture Beautiful Face Lathering Facial Scrub.

It has tiny micro-beads that help exfoliate & is gentle enough to use daily.

jaymiek · Coach

I use Purpose Gentle Cleansing wash. It's gentle but it gets the job done, and it's inexpensive.

edit: Just to add, I have oily acne prone skin and I've found that harsher products make me break out more. Purpose is gentle so it doesn't overdry my skin since I use Tazorac, so that using that combo has made get less breakouts. As an added bonus, it even washes off my eye makeup.

really, target ones are better? i've been using olay cloths religiously for years & get compliments on my skin from time to time (feels like a million bucks to a girl who had excrutiating acne in HS and still has hints of scars). what makes the target ones better? i'm assuming they are cheaper, which is a reason on it's own, but what else?

bumblebee · Coach

i just wanted to second the purpose recommendation from jaymiek. you didn't say what your skin type is, but a lot of cleansers are too harsh for me--that one seems to do the trick.

Kel · Coach

Thanks girls, now I have so much to choose from.

Andrea Julia · Coach

I use this:

Aveeno Skin Brightening Daily Scrub

I like it. I've never used a face wash that I've been totally wild about (including Proactiv and more expensive dept store brands), but this makes my face feel clean and doesn't make me break out or get oily or anything. There are better reviews on the site above.

The Target ones have a much smoother cloth, one side is more of an exfoilating side with the cleanser on it, the other side is smooth which you can rinse your face off with. I am saving so much money on these, and my skin looks better. Go ahead and try them. I was hesitant at first, since they are generic but they are good.

Do you have sensitive skin?

daiz519 · Dooney & Bourke

I was using Dermalogica which I really like. But I decided to try Purpose since it is cheaper and has been recommended by my dermatologist....it works really well and I like the price.

Amelie · Kenneth Cole

Cetaphil. And I exfoliate once a week with the Neutrogena scrub-

Sort of. Using Olay with the spf dries out my skin. When I'm out in the sun only a few minutes I start to get an itchy rash which is super annoying.
