| This one isn't fancy but it's my tried and true: Neutrogena Pore Refining Cleanser. Great for everyday cleansing. I also like Clinique's Foaming Cleanser for when my skin seems to be getting a bit dry. |

This one isn't fancy either: Spectro Jel. (fragrance free - purple bottle)
I also like various cleanser by Paula's Choice.
Email her CS and ask for samples. |

| Several favorites, but when I'm in an acne prone period, MD Forte is the absolute best. |

| I really like MD Forte cleanser and Dermalogica daily Microfoliant. MD Forte and MD Formulation are very similar, but I found MD Forte works much better for me. |

| I have been using Janson-Beckett Cleansing Milk and Organic Skin Toner. They compliment each other. Very gentle on my mature skin yet totally remove makeup without my skin feeling taunt. Yummy smell! I also like Dr. H. Cleansing Cream. I use Dr. H. after JB cleansing cream as a gentle exfoliant then tone with JB. |

I have been mixing it up this past year (haven't most of us?), but I continue to be reminded how much I like yet another "non-fancy" drug store product.
Pond's Deep Cleansing Lotion and Make-Up Remover with Cucumber ALWAYS leaves me feeling clean yet not tight or dry. After rinsing I seem to get the same sensation when I examine in the mirror. "Well, that was too easy." It is never a struggle of tugging and scrubbing with this product. I perform for a living so some nights I am trying to get seemingly INCHES of mascara off, I never have to repeat my task.
I have never had a cleanser that was that throrough until now. Should probably be faithful but I can't help it. Guilty of wondering what else might be out there so I just keep those options open.
Cetaphil was always a prominent cleanser in my rotation too. Another inexpensive drug store brand. |

| My favorite cleanser remains Dr. Hauschka Cleansing Cream! It works wonderfully. I tried switching to Aubrey's cleanser that is made for oily skin, but the menthol really bothered me and my skin felt completely stripped of oils after I tried it -- so back to Hauschka for me! |

Haven't found my favourite yet, but here's what I like..
Darphin purifying foam gel (like the smell)
Jurlique foaming cleansing gel (like the smell too)
Erno Lazlo sea mud soap (good for summer, very very clean but a bit messy to use, the BLACK soap)
still searching for my can't-live-without cleanser

Hi
I have been using Dr H's Cleansing Cream and its a great exfoliant in the mornings. At night, I have been trying Sothys Clearness Lotion as I have noticed fragile capilaries and I have noticed my skin is a lot smoother. |

I like Babors 2-step cleansing oil, it's my comfort cleanser  But I also like MD Formulations non-glycolic foaming cleanser. This is a more basic gel cleanser, does not dry or irritate my skin and does help a lot on blackheads! |

I was on a week long trip. Being a travel-light person, I only brought those samples I got from EDS (thanks! EDS  ). Ususally, I got a lot of breakouts in those trips. However, I was pleasantly surprised that my skin has become very smooth and no breakouts whatsoever in the end of the trip.  I realized that I was using Yonka Gel Nettoyant. Now, I am a total believer of Yonka Gel Nettoyant. It is by far the best  cleanser I've ever used (sorry ... Dermalogica daily Microfoliant and MD Forte) |

I have dry skin and have recently started using the cleansing cream (in a pump) from Skinceuticals--it is great! It feels wonderful to use and rinses easily, and I don't get that tight feeling afterwards! I like it even better than the Special Cleansing Gel from Dermalogica that is so nice.  |

| I have combination skin with rosacea. Valmont's Cleansing Emulsion from the Dermo line works best for me. |

bringing this thread from the dead, since i was doing a search, thought id share...
But i use Avene cleanance soapless gel and sometimes spectro gel.
combo skin with mild/moderate rosacea.
Avenes soapless cleanser gel, feels great once lathered up...but the spectro gel i feel just disinfects and i find that removing the dead skin cells on my skin, doesn't work with Spectro.
I need to exfoliate but no clue what to use or how. |

Cleansers for me vary depending upon the season.
Winter: LOVE PC Skin Recovery Cleanser
Summer: Oil of Olay Foaming Face Wash for Sensitive Skin.
I really like YonKa's Lait Nettoyant and Nuxe's Cleansing Milk. I'll use either in the morning when I don't have makeup to remove. Also I like Alpha Hydroxy Glycolic wash a few times a week during the warmer months.
The only one so far that is my HG is the PC. Too bad it's too emollient for the summer months. |

*Decleor cleansing cream for dry skin (winter)
*Shiseido The Skincare Gentle Cleansing Foam (summer, plus I like to use it post-workout in the shower). |
