@bargainsgirl   I use Micellar water on cotton pads...the Bioderma for sensitive skin...in the morning for a quick cleanse 

 

At night I use an oil cleanser (Bobbi brown Soothing Cleansing Oil) to remove SPF and it's also gentle on eyes when removing mascara, etc.

I've been using this Clinique cleanser....it doesn't really lather, but seems to clean my skin and eyes.

I do a double cleanse; one to remove make-up then the second to cleanse my skin.

 

1). For make-up removal:. Naturium Purple Ginseng Cleansing Balm.

2). Second cleanse:  WEN Facial Cleansing Treatment. Note:  this does a great job of removing make-up, too, so I could use this for both, but I've fallen in love with cleansing balms.

I use micellar water to take off my eye makeup, then Ponds cold cream as a cleansing balm, then I cleanse with whatever. I’m currently using Cerave cream to foam cleanser. I like it and will probably repurchase.

I'm a big fan of CereVe products. I tend to be a bit oily so I use their foaming facial cleanser.  It doesn't strip my skin and I feel like I get a thorough clean when used with a cleansing wand. They also make a creamy hydrating version.

I love this.  Never tried it but the packaging is enough to make me want to try it Smiley Happy  I guess that makes me shallow lol

Oh, it's not for dry skin.

If I don't have makeup to remove, I double cleanse with Tatcha Rice Wash or Naturium Fermented Rice Enzyme Wash and then Tatcha's Rice Powder exfoliant.  If I do have makeup on, it's a triple wash.  I start with a cleansing balm (Huda, Glow Recipe or Naturium) and then the products I mentioned at the beginning.

After years of having really reactive skin, I now have 4 favorites that I rotate depending on how my skin feels & whether or not I'm wearing make up.

- IT Cosmetics 3 in 1 Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm (truly fabulous)

- Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Pore Perfecting Cleansing Gel (soap free, 1 drop does the job!)

-Dr. Denise Enzyme Rich Cleansing Cream (from her website a while ago)

-The Natural Goats Milk Company Soap Bar with Manuka Honey (eBay of TJMaxx)

 

Hi, @SilleeMee, I ran out cotton rounds & started using the small microfiber cloths you had previously recommended for the Garnier micellar water & my Qtica polish remover. Those cloths do a better job & I don't have to feel guilty about those cotton rounds in the landfills! YMMV. Thanks again for the recommendation.

I love those microfiber cloths! I even keep a back-up box of them. They're the best.
