EltaMD Foaming Facial Cleanser, 207 ml

Product Information

However, those with acne-prone skin may want to avoid products with high concentrations of silicones because these ingredients can act as a barrier and trap oil, dirt, and dead skin cells, making acne worse. UV Elements is another popular Elta MD sunscreen product. In contrast to the Elta MD UV Clear Sunscreen, the UV Elements formula contains only mineral sunscreen ingredients: zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. The rest of the formula is primarily composed of silicones, which give this product a silky, smooth skin feel. Sodium hyaluronate and vitamins C and E are also present in this formula.

EltaMD Foaming Facial Cleanser, Foaming Face Wash for Oily

My goal is to always have soft, clear, hydrated skin. If you feel the same, then using this purifying cleanser can make that goal a reality. Anyone with oily skin (hi, hello) will find that this gentle, lightweight formula effectively removes dirt and residue without stripping your skin — this is thanks to the exfoliating and hydrating ingredients like glycolic acid (which dissolves dead skin cell buildup) and glycerin (which delivers intense hydration). Our tester was impressed by this duality: “This product is both hydrating and cleansing which works perfectly with my skin,” she says. “My skin feels much better than it did before.” If you have enlarged pores, it’s vital to find the right cleanser that can go deep to clean them out and tighten them up once and for all. We found that the Tula Purifying Cleanser, with its turmeric, white tea, and blueberry infused-formula, does a great job at rebalancing skin texture. The probiotic extracts help maintain an even texture across your complexion, while hydrating ingredients simultaneously moisturize and tighten skin. The lightweight gel successfully removes stubborn dirt found deep in those pores and leaves behind a clean slate. “My skin feels clear and lightly hydrated,” says our tester.

Combination skin is exactly what it sounds like: A combination of dry and oily. Gel cleansers, like KraveBeauty Matcha Hemp Hydrating Cleanser can help balance out the inconsistencies, to keep your skin feeling comfortable. Physical sunscreens tend to be better tolerated by most skin types because they are not absorbed into the skin. Thus, they are especially useful for those with heat sensitive skin (i.e. rosacea patients) as well as those with acne-prone skin as they are typically less pore-clogging. Some cosmetics companies have taken People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and Leaping Bunny animal-testing pledges. For consumers who are concerned about companies’ policies on animal testing, Skin Deep reports this information. Note that this cleanser focuses more on removing oils and dirt, rather than makeup, so it’s likely you’ll still have some waterproof mascara left after using this. We recommend removing everything with a makeup remover first before cleansing your skin. Another thing to note is that the formulas naturally has a strong scent to it. While this didn’t irritate our tester’s sensitive skin, if you are easily turned off by strong scents then perhaps this isn’t for you.

The Effaclar H Hydrating Cleansing Cream is one of my favorites due to its beautiful texture, which can be described as a combination of cream and gel. Cucumber doesn’t just contribute to the calming benefits, it also provides a soothing scent that adds to the overall experience. In fact, it’s so subtle that even those with sensitive skin will enjoy it. “I can be sensitive to fragrance but my skin didn't seem to react to this face wash,” says our tester. “It isn’t overwhelming at all.” Keep in mind that because this is a foaming wash, it’s inherently not as hydrating as other options on this list, so be sure to have a moisturizer on hand to replenish your complexion after using this.

Skin type refers to whether your face is oily, dry, normal, combination, or sensitive. The first three are quite self explanatory – oily skin is when your sebaceous glands in the skin make too much sebum. This can cause your pores to clog and feel generally uncomfortable. On the plus side, your skin is perpetually hydrated (which we love). Those with oily skin should look for a strong face wash that can melt every pore-clogging substance away and keep those oils from over producing throughout the day. “A foaming cleanser is more suitable for oily skin to help remove sebum and debris,” says board-certified dermatologist Jenny Liu, M.D. We recommend trying PanOxyl Acne Foaming Wash with Benzoyl Peroxide. The Dermopurifyer Cleansing Gel by Eucerinhas a lightweight consistency, light lather that rinses off easily, it’s perfectly pH balanced, and it’s good for acne-prone and oily skin types. The Elta MD UV Clear Sunscreen is the brand’s most popular sunscreen. This broad spectrum sunscreen is said to calm and protect sensitive skin types prone to discoloration and breakouts associated with acne and rosacea. The silky, lightweight formula is fragrance-free, oil-free, paraben-free, sensitivity-free, and noncomedogenic. The formula contains the mineral sunscreen zinc oxide and the chemical sunscreen octinoxate, which together provide broad spectrum SPF 46 protection.
