hey guys so i have very very very very sensitive skin with according to my dermatologist is accompanied by mild acne (whiteheads and blackheads). I was thinking of the obagi nu derm gentle cleanser and was wondering would it be gentle enough for my acne prone skin. I also have very oily skin (WORST combination I know). If not can you guys recommend a gentle deep cleaning face wash for my sensitive and oily skin. I have tried spectro and cetaphil and felt they didnt clean enough. Thanks guys for taking the time to read this and god bless.
I would be leery of that obagi cleanser. It has some known irritants in it (SLS, coca betaine, 5 different parabens). Plus it costs like $40 for 6.7 ounces! I have similar skin type as you (overly sensitive, oily, clogs easy, acne prone). Very few products agree with me. In the morning I wash face with Dickinsons Witch Hazel Foaming Face Wash. At night I was face with either 2% ketoconazole cleanser (prescription) or sulfur cleanser (grandpas thylox soap). These are all gentle items. Cerave foaming face wash is pretty gentle too but it didn't seem to agree with me.
