Best Facial Cleanser Series: Olay Foaming Face Wash for Sensitive Skin

This is the third product in my Best Facial Cleanser Series. The first was Purity Made Simple and can be found here. The second was Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash (Pink Grapefruit) and can be found here.

Olay Foaming Face Wash for Sensitive Skin


Price: $6
Available at: Drugstores, Wal-Mart, Target
Skin Types: Sensitive

This product has a rich and creamy texture. It is ideal for people with sensitive skin. It reduces redness and does not irritate skin at all. A mildly-scented cleanser that does not leave skin feeling tight. It might not be suitable if you have oily skin as it is very moisturizing. Like I said in a previous review, you can always alternate with a more drying cleanser. Its only downfall is the fact that it is very "soapy" and needs to be rinsed off well or else you will feel it on your face afterwards.

Pros: Non-irritating, moisturizing, price, great for sensitive skin
Cons: Might make your face a little oily

Best Facial Cleanser Series: Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash (Pink Grapefruit)

This is the second product in my Best Facial Cleanser Series. The first was Purity Made Simple and can be found here.

Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash (Pink Grapefruit)





Price: $8
Available at: Drugstores, Wal-Mart, Target
Skin Types: Oily
 
This cleanser is great for people with oily skin and who are prone to breakouts. The salicylic acid is especially useful in clearing blemishes. However, it is very drying on the skin so I recommend alternating with a gentler cleanser. If you are going to use the product everyday, be sure to apply an oil-free moisturizer so your skin doesn't feel tight. It does smell good though, just like grapefruit. Unfortunately, it does not remove makeup as you wash your face so you'll need a makeup remover as well.
 
Pros: Price, Scent
Cons: Too harsh on sensitive skin, drying

Best Facial Cleanser Series: Purity Made Simple by Philosophy

This will be the first of many products in my Best Facial Cleanser Series.

Purity Made Simple by Philosophy


Price: $10 for 3 oz. $20 for 8 oz. $32 for 16 oz. $40 for 24 oz. $45.50 for 32 oz.
Available at: Sephora
Skin Types: All

I absolutely love this cleanser! While it is the priciest of the bunch, I believe it is money well spent. It's very gentle and doesn't irritate skin at all. Unlike some harsh products, it will not leave your skin feeling tight, just clean and refreshed. Bonus: it can be used as a makeup remover. If you are unsure about spending this much money, you can buy the smallest size (3 oz.) as it only costs $10. Bigger bottles are available and give you better value for your money. Oh and it has a nice calming scent!

Pros: Can be used on all skin types, gentle.
Cons: Price
