Can Anyone Recommend A Good Facial Cleanser?

I've used things from top world cosmetic brands to baby soap over the years. Right now, I'm frustrated because my skin is rough and breaking out alot and it's usually fairly clear and smooth. :angry: I don't use things with fragrance. Anyone have something they love or works well?

I use Open Original Shared Link products. I've had cystic acne for the last five or six years, and this stuff is the only thing I've found that works to help clear it up.

I use their Cranberry Cleanser (it is scented, but all natural ingredients), their Fruit Enzyme Scrub (for exfoliation), and the Fruit Enzyme Mist (toner). Not cheap products, but they work to clear up the acne and reduce the dull looking skin.

I'm sure you'll get some other great recommendations as well!

I use the Neutrogena Cleansing Bar for Acne-Prone Skin (the transparent bar) and the Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Daily Scrub. I use the scrub in the shower in the am and the bar before bed at night. Its the best thing I've found so far, and it's affordable. I had clear skin until I turned 30, then my face exploded <_<

I also like MyChelle products--my favorite cleanser in that line is the Honeydew Cleanser.

Right now I'm using the bar soap from Dakota Free--

I was just using it as a shower soap, but once I used it to wash my face I haven't wanted to use anything else! I absolutely love it.

Thanks all for your responses. Those look like good choices.

Jerseyangel. Like your sunflower avatar. We used to grow a few giant sunflowers every summer but regretfully haven't done it the last few summers.

I recently found a few good options-- If you like a cream cleanser, one is Sundari cleansing cream for Pitta skin. There is also a camomile cleansing cream by burt's bees, but if you like a foaming cleanser, my favorite is the pomegranate face cleanser by 100% pure. They have a website and they are gluten-free. Also, there is the pink farma-fresh bar from LUSH cosmetics (for breakouts and red blotchiness) and Korres makes some facial soaps-- the milk one is very nice and mild. I really like LUSH and Korres products a lot. BTW these companies are all big on natural ingredients and have SLS free options.

Good luck! Skincare and hair care have been the hardest part for me.

My dermatologist recommended using CetaPhil anti-bacterial soap plus CeraVe brand moisturizer. Both seem to work really well for me.

I absolutely love Kiss My Face olive oil soap (the plain olive oil one). My skin is acne prone and horrid, but this works better than anything else.

I was just using it as a shower soap, but once I used it to wash my face I haven't wanted to use anything else! I absolutely love it.

This was my exact same situation with the Kiss My Face. :P

Gah! I've had the same problem! I always had a pretty, clear complexion-- all through the teen years and most of my 20s... Now this past year, I've been having breakouts. :angry: (I just turned 30 this year.)

Wow never heard of this brand. Can you buy their products in stores or do I have to order off their site. I'm willing to try it!

I have two local stores I can purchase them from - one is a locally owned "Family Health Market" and the other is a Sprouts Farmers Market type grocery store.

You might check your local health food stores (if you have them) or possibly Whole Foods?

Otherwise you can purchase off the website, and they do have trial sizes of most of their products.

I wish they'd hurry up and finish updating their website - I want to see photos of their new cosmetics!

Jillian,

You can also get their products at Whole Foods--they don't have the whole line, but a pretty good selection. :)

I use Boscia skin care, which is botanically based (Purifying Cleansing Gel, Balancing Facial Tonic, etc.), and I buy it at Sephora. I started in November, right before my wedding, and it keeps my skin looking a lot better. I have very sensitive skin. Their products are produced in a clean room environment and contain no preservatives, which is what irritates many people's skin. Twice a week I use the smoothing facial scrub. I went on vacation for two weeks and didn't take the scrub to save space in my toiletries bag, and by the time I got back, I could tell the difference and it wasn't pretty! ;)

Here is the info from Sephora, if the link comes through:

I also use the olive oil soap from KMF. I started after my hair stylist suggested that I try avoiding parabens. So far I like it most of the time.

I use the cleanser from acne.com, which is a local company for me. It may have a fragrance, but if it does it's mild enough that I can't actually remember.

korres is a greek company and I 've met people who are working there. As far as I know, these people respect what they are doing. I really like their philosophy, trying to make products as pure as they can. I use the orange blossom cleansing emulsion for oily - combination skin (it is gluten free)

but if your face is breaking out, maybe it is not because of your facial soap. Have you checked everything else? hormones? maybe something you eat? lactose?

I use Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Cleanser. I like it a lot.

I just saw a commercial last night (haven't yet checked it out) for a new Neutrogena product called Skin ID. Sounds like a god-send for those of us that still suffer with acne.

Anyone know anything about this stuff?

Interestingly enough, it looks as though it's only available by mail order, and I'm not seeing an ingredients list anywhere on the website........

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.
