My dry, sensitive face loves Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish. Best cleanser I’ve ever used.

For the morning, I use Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser.  Make sure you get the Gentle Skin Cleanser and not the Daily Facial Cleanser.  They look exactly the same.

 

Cetaphil Skin Cleanser Unscented - 16oz

 

Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser - 8 fl oz

Many derms recommend just rinsing the face in the morning. I workout in the mornings so I do use a cleanser. Kitao  makes a very gentle cleanser which doesn't strip the skin I  get  this at Ulta. They also make a wonderful Essence which I also use after cleasning.. Stay away from anything that is a gel. Those are too drying for drier skin types.

Purity.....I use it morning and night...gentle and easy...buy when they have those giant specials w/free shipping from Q.  


 

@tsavorite   I've had no luck w/ Purity. It has some strong sulfates that dry my skin. Glad it works for you, though. 


I agree that Purity is much too drying for me too. It works great for cleaning my makeup brushes though.

You could maybe try using just a damp microfiber face cloth. That will remove whatever is on your skin without stripping. Microfiber is inherently chummy with oils and anything with pigment like color cosmetics.

I like Dr.Denese hydrating facial cleansing lotion. I have very fair, dry senstive skin with allerrgies, issues and it works for me. Very gentle and you only need a little bit of the product to wash your entire face.

In the morning I just use a very warm wet microfiber cloth.  If you still want to use a cleanser in the morning, I would try just a little of Paula's Choice Moisture Boost cleanser, it will not dry your skin out, it's awesome, been using it for years.

 I use Avalon Organics Intense Defense Vitamin C Cleansing Milk. I will sometimes stray and try something else but I always go back to this one. It is the least drying I have found for me.

Just warm water on one of the micro cloths from campanelli on the Q---have heard from many sources that you really don't need to use a cleanser in the morning---how does your skin get dirty when you sleep? I do this every a.m. I have sahara desert dry skin year round--I use my oils, and serums and moisturizers in the a.m. then cleanse in the p.m. Using my Mia really helps at night too. then I use my nightime products, which are a little more intense for the dryness factor.
