Why invest in a cream cleanser?
So why opt for a cream cleanser, rather than a gel, oil or foam cleanser? Cream cleansers work best for those with dry skin, but anyone can take advantage of their incredible benefits. They gently dissolve heavy makeup and dirt, effectively cleaning and prepping your skin for the next step in your routine. They're also packed with hydrating ingredients like botanical oils and aloe vera to truly nourish the skin. You can't go wrong!
FAQs About Cream Cleansers
What makes cream cleansers different from other formats?
Cream cleansers have a rich, emollient base designed to gently cleanse while maintaining hydration. They don't lather like gels, making them especially kind to dry, mature, or reactive skin. They're best at removing light makeup or the second step in a double cleanse. For waterproof formulas or SPF-heavy days, start with a balm or oil, then follow with a cream cleanser to condition the skin.
Can cream cleansers help with skin barrier repair?
Their low-foaming, non-stripping formulas often include barrier-loving ingredients—ideal for recovery after active treatments or when your skin feels overworked.
What skin types benefit most?
Dry, dehydrated, sensitive, and mature skin types benefit most. Look for formulas that are fragrance-free and alcohol-free, with actives like hyaluronic acid or aloe vera for hydration and comfort.
