FAQs
What is the purpose of a facial cleanser?
A cleanser removes makeup, sunscreen, excess oil, dirt, and environmental pollutants from the skin's surface. Proper cleansing helps maintain a healthy skin barrier and allows treatments like serums and moisturizers to absorb more effectively, making it the foundation of any daily skincare routine.
How do I choose the right cleanser for my skin type?
Choose a cleanser based on your skin type and main concern: gel or foaming cleansers for oily or acne-prone skin, cream or balm cleansers for dry or mature skin, and gentle, fragrance-free formulas for sensitive skin. Look for soap-free, pH-balanced cleansers to avoid stripping the skin. If unsure, a Professional Skin Therapist can help recommend the right option.
How often should I cleanse my face?
Most people should cleanse twice daily, morning and evening. Evening cleansing is essential to remove makeup, sunscreen, and daily buildup, while a gentle morning cleanse refreshes the skin and prepares it for treatments, moisturizers, and SPF.
What is double cleansing and who should use it?
Double cleansing involves using an oil-based or balm cleanser first to dissolve makeup and sunscreen, followed by a water-based cleanser to remove residual impurities. It’s especially helpful for people who wear makeup, apply sunscreen daily, or want a thorough cleanse without over-drying the skin. Dermalogica is well known for promoting double cleansing as part of daily skin health.
Can a cleanser exfoliate my skin?
Yes. Some cleansers contain exfoliating ingredients such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), or physical polishing agents to gently exfoliate. Exfoliating cleansers should be used as directed and not layered with other strong exfoliants to avoid irritation.
Are facial cleansers safe to use during pregnancy?
Many cleansers are safe during pregnancy, but some ingredients commonly used for acne, such as high-dose salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, are typically avoided. Always review ingredient lists and consult your healthcare provider or a Professional Skin Therapist when building a pregnancy-safe routine.
What’s the best way to remove makeup and sunscreen?
The most effective method is to start with an oil-based or balm cleanser to dissolve makeup and sunscreen, then follow with a water-based cleanser to remove residue. This approach cleans thoroughly while helping maintain the skin's moisture balance.
Can cleansers help with acne or sensitive skin?
The right cleanser can support both acne-prone and sensitive skin. Acne-prone skin benefits from non-comedogenic cleansers that remove excess oil without stripping, while sensitive skin responds best to gentle, soothing formulas that are fragrance-free. Avoid over-cleansing or harsh scrubs, which can disrupt the skin barrier and worsen breakouts or sensitivity.
How should I use a cleanser for best results?
Apply cleanser to damp skin and massage gently for 30–60 seconds using light, circular motions. Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry. Follow immediately with treatment products and moisturizer to support hydration and skin balance.
Are there sustainable or refillable cleanser options?
Some cleanser brands, including Dermalogica, offer refill packaging or recyclable components for best-selling cleansers. Checking product packaging and brand sustainability information can help you choose options that reduce environmental impact.
