I noticed that every time I use a cleanser even the gentle ones like Purpose gentle cleanser (which on the bottle says it's clinically proven to be as gentle as water) and Cetaphil which also claims to be gentle. I noticed that they either dry my face out and/or give me spots in areas that I hardly get spots in!
So my question is there a gentle oil-free cleanser that is proven not to cause spots or dry out the skin?
Shall I just stick to just washing with lukewarm water on its own twice a day?
I tried many soaps and face cleansers and almost all of them gave me negative results and I end up discontinuing using them and wasting my money.
Thanks
Both of those cleansers contain sodium laureth sulfate (SLS). Many people, me for one, are sensitive to SLS and it causes irritation/breakouts for them. I also seem sensitive to sodium tallowate. Try a cleanser w/o SLS and see if the problem improves. I've been using Dickinson's foaming face wash for 4 months with good results.
