It’s one of the most crucial aspects of one’s skincare routines, yet not many people pay close attention to the face wash and/or cleanser they're using. Is it the right one depending on your skin type? Does it have the right kind of ingredients? Is it helping your skin look and feel better or stripping it off all essential oils instead?

When you’ve got dry skin, it’s imperative to use a face wash or cleanser that's mild in nature. That doesn’t mean it shouldn’t cleanse well – just that it shouldn’t leave your skin feeling dry and/or stretched out after. A good face wash for you would be one that’s loaded with hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, ceramides, glycerine and peptides, among others.

For skin that’s acne prone, a regular cleanser just won’t do. You need something that’ll go deep into the pores and cleanse those impurities away. A cleanser that’s designed to address consistent acne and perhaps, help prevent new ones. Ingredients such as glycolic acid, green tea and salicylic acid are always a great idea.

How do you know your skin is the combination type? Well, if it feels dry on some parts and oily on the others, it’s probably a combination of the two. And what you need for this skin type is a cleanser that’s also kind of a combination – deeply penetrating to remove all impurities but also, soft enough to not leave your skin feeling dry and parched after. If it sounds complicated, it probably is. But fortunately, all these products do it quite well.

For people with oily skin, a good cleanser is one that removes excess oil and sebum, while also ensuring that production of both can be controlled to a large extent. And since the skin is oily enough already, the cleanser needs to be oil-free and water/gel-based for maximum effect.
