Face Cleanser

When choosing the right cleanser for your skin type, it is important to look at the ingredients used to formulate the face wash that complement your skin type and any concerns you may have. Like many skincare products, face washes and cleansers work best when they are personalised to your individual needs. Once you understand your skin type, there are a few different types of face cleansers available.

Dry and sensitive skin types should use a gentle formula that doesn't disrupt the skin’s moisture barrier like the Toleriane Gentle Cream Dermo-Cleanser. While oily skin types should opt for a face cleanser that helps reduce excess sebum in the skin like the Effaclar Foaming Gel Cleanser. La Roche Posay’s face cleansers have been developed with dermatologists to enhance your skin with a deep cleanse. Shop the range to see which type of face cleanser works best for your skin.

Face washes usually refer to water-based or foaming formulas which are ideal for oily skin type as it reaches deeply into the pores and can remove excess oil. While face cleansers is a more general or universal term for all face cleansers.

Yes, you should use face cleanser every day. Your skin is exposed to different environmental elements like dirt, sun, dust and sweat that can lead to unwanted build-ups and breakouts. Cleansing the skin removes unwanted impurities and prepares the skin for additional skincare ingredients.

Cleansing the skin is an important step in both a morning and evening skincare routine. It is the first step in a skincare routine as it removes unwanted impurities and creates a blank canvas on the face for the rest of your skincare products. Without cleansing, serums and other skincare products might not absorb as effectively.
