Who uses a very cheap facial cleanser BUT expensive serums/moisturizers, etc.

I just nothing but Purity Made Simply, it has served me well over the past 15 years and I never want to change.

In my opinion (and experience), cheap cleansers do not completely remove my makeup, and they often dry out my skin or aggravate my rosacea.

In particular, I like Cetaphil, Neutrogenia ultra hydrating cleanser, and Neutrogenia towelettes. I also loved the "moisturizing" version of Noxema--but I think it's been discontinued. I use Josie Maren milk, Dermalogica, and Lancôme moisturizers.

Cetaphil and Neutrogena were moisturizing enough, but neither effectively removed all my makeup. The towelettes did remove my makeup, but were a bit drying. That was a shame, because I loved the convenience of the towelettes!

I use Alpha Hydrox Foaming Facial Cleanser. It is very inexpensive but I stock up during the BOGO sales for an even better deal. It is given a ""Best"" rating by Paula.

Come to think of it, my Purity is relatively inexpensive, when you consider that it takes me a little over 1 year to use up a 32oz. It's regularly priced at $52 on Philosophy.com, but I nab it when they have their 30%off sale. BTW - anybody know when the next sale is?

I use Cerave from WalGreens/CVS and buy when it is BOGO 50% off. It is good especially when paired with my Clarisonic. That little guy can remove concrete if need be. Cerave has two formulas, foaming for oilier skin and cream for dryer skin. This product is rated by Paula's Choice as an excellent cleaner without extra chemicals and the like but is good for the skin. I can purchase high quality and more expensive serums that are more important to me. I also do this with makeup purchasing better primer, foundation and powder versus blush and shadow.

I've always meant to try Purity. I wish there was a way to sample it first....

It seems like the try-me size is usually included in QVC's Beauty Blender, although I'm not sure if that's true for the latest BB(?)
