Ultimate Guide to Cleansers

A gel or foaming cleanser suits oily, acne-prone skin, while cream and balm formulas soothe dry or sensitive complexions. You will learn how to match cleanser texture to skin type and time of day, which ingredients to favour or avoid, and when to double cleanse so your routine actually improves skin health.

Top Insights From This Guide

  • Pick gel or foaming cleansers for oily or acne-prone skin types.
  • Use cream, balm or oil cleansers to protect moisture on dry or sensitive skin.
  • Double cleanse: oil-based first to remove makeup, then water-based to clean pores.
  • Avoid harsh sulphates if skin feels tight and choose hydrating ingredients if dry.
Keep reading for quick checks, ingredient cues and simple swaps to update your morning and evening routine. Practical checklists will help you patch test new formulas, decide when to swap textures, and stop common cleansing mistakes that strip or overload your skin.
