planning to order the following for am (and possibly pm) use:

Sothys Gommage Exfoliant
Sothys Normalizing Beauty Milk (Cleanser)
Dr Hauschka Cleansing Cream
Yonka Gel Nettoyant Cleansing Gel

should I take out one of them (im thinking maybe there two of the items may be of the "same kind")?

I haven't used any of these products so can't really comment - but why do you need four cleansers? One cleanser is all you need and maybe an exfoliant to use once a week.

I think 4 cleansers is way too many!! If you're not careful, you may really dry your skin out.

And I'd say it's definitely overkill in the morning when you're not washing off any makeup.

How 'bout ordering one or two cleansers and asking for samples of the others.

Are you trying to find your ultimate cleanser? What kind of skin do you have / what are your skin care issues?

Thanks all for the replies.
I didn't realize they all have the same function. oops! doh! Yes, I'll definitely narrow the cleansers to one or too.

My skin is combination skin. Oily in the t-zone area after a bit of walking/jogging around for a bit. The rest of my face is normal i guess.. or a "little" on the dry side.

Isn't the exfoliant not a cleanser??

I've tried the Sothys Normalizing Milk and it cleanses make-up off pretty well - though it does leave a film on the skin (before toner is applied anyway - after toner it'll be gone haha) so if you don't like that feeling maybe reconsider that? Also the smell of the normalizing milk is really lemony! Took me quite by surprise haha...

Well the exfoliant - i guess you can call it a deep cleanser? Razz i haven't tried the sothys exfoliant but planning to order it. Am currently using the sothys desquacrem, which is like the exfoliant for deep cleansing (just without all the rough particles? haha).

So far sothys is working out quite well for my combi-dry skin so you can give the exfoliant/desquacrem a try I guess Smile
the other 2 brands I've not tried so no comments there... hope this helps!

I definetly think you have too much going on there.
1 cleanser in the evening is great (Yonka Gel)
adn then use the Hauschka cleasning cream (which is like a scrub) a few times a week.

Both Fabulous products!

1 good cleanser is all you need. in the am, cold water rinse is good enough, unless you have really oily skin.
