I've been using Purity and First Aid Beauty as my go to cleansers when I'm not taking off makeup.

 I want to now use something I'm sure is cruelty free that I can get here or at Sephora or Ulta.

Any recommendations? TIA!

I use Josie Maran pineapple cleanser most of the time. Ocassionally I use her milk cleanser. Both are good. Ulta sells them, but I just purchased the pineapple cleanser from qvc because they have a supersize.

I use WEN Bella Spirit Facial Cleansing Treatment.  It's a light lotion that is quite hydrating and leaves my skin super clean!

How would you feel about getting a cleanser from Amazon?  I love Naturium's Rice Cleanser.  $12.82/4oz

@beach-mom  Sephora sells Paula's Choice which is cruelty free. Paula's Choice website offers a larger variety of cleansers and a discount. It has been a few years since I used her products so cannot offer much in the way of a review.  I think most if not all are without added fragrance.

I also use Josie Maran Pineapple Cleanser.  It's my fave. I have not tried First Aid, but Purity was too drying for me.

I love Korres Olyumpus Tea, the foaming one in the pump bottle.

@beach-mom   If you're not removing makeup, skin does not appear oily, derms are recommending just to splash with warm water. There's no cleanser needed.

Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions!

I forgot to mention my skin is combination and a tad sensitive. DD are taking a few hours today to hit the beauty stores- Sephora, Ulta, and Blue Mercury! One is not that close. 

@SurferWife - I never thought about Bella Spirit! I do use whatever cleanser I'm using on my hair while I'm standing in the shower as kind of a "second cleanse" for my face. I will get this while it's on sale if I can!

@Janey2 and @justashopper - I love Josie's products and use a lot. I don't know how I missed this! I use Milk and didn't realize there was a milk cleanser. The pineapple sounds more like what I want right now- something to foam a little more.

@monicakm - That rice cleanser looks nice! I've been using a rice powder since I taught in Japan in my early 20's. When I got back home it was really hard to find one. Sephora and Ulta weren't around,  so I splurged and got Shiseido at the department store, but it wasn't the rice cleanser. Years later Fresh made one I liked, so of course they discontinued it! I tried one by Bobbi Brown that was like a dark mud, but didn't like it. So then Tatcha came along. 

Even though I doubt the gimmicky "Geisha antique book" story, I do like this rice cleanser. Buy the one you shared is a lot more affordable, so I will get that the next time I need some. I use this only twice a week on my dermatologist's advice.

@Iwantcoffee - I used this years ago. I Iiked it, but moved on to something else. I know Paula sold the company, and that's usually when things start to change. I will investigate more about the ownership and maybe try again! 

@Shelbelle - Never tried anything Korres. I'll look for it today!

Thanks @Shanus! Years ago in college I sold Mary Kay, and this was their recommendation. 

I guess I just felt funny without doing "something." My skin isn't oily, but I feel better when it is fresh!

My mom had beautiful skin. People always commented on it. The only thing she used to cleanse was Oil of Olay - the original pink lotion!
