What are cleansers? 

A facial cleanser is a skin care product used to remove makeup, dead skin cells, oil, dirt, and other types of pollutants from the skin, helping to keep pores clear and prevent skin conditions such as acne. Finding the best cleanser can be tough given there are so many options. Knowing the differences between them will help you choose the best products for your skin.

How To Pick The Best Cleanser For Yourself?

• Gel Cleanser

Gel cleansers have a clear, jelly-like consistency and often need rinsing off. They offer deep cleansing with just one wash and also decongest pores, remove excess oil and clean out acne-causing bacteria! They are very moisturizing and packed with hydrating ingredients that leave the skin feeling moist and fresh. Gel cleansers are great makeup removers! 

Gel cleanser is an ideal item for normal skin, oily skin, combination skin and acne-prone skin. You can use Japanese cleansers such as Rature Cleansing Gel Moisturizing, Manara Moist Wash Gel Cleanser, Lululun Cleansing Gel. 

• Cream Cleanser

Cream cleansers are rich in textures and packed with moisturizing properties. They also do not produce much lather or strip away the skin’s natural oils, hence will not leave your skin dry and dehydrated. They, however, tend to leave a creamy texture that can cause clogging. They are great makeup removers and can also help to control sebum excretions. 

Cream Cleanser is an excellent beauty product for dry skin and sensitive skin. You can use one of the best cleansers in Japan such as Kanebo Enriched Off Cream Cleansing, Kosé Puredia Spa Des Grands Cream Cleanse or Fancl Acne Care Washing Cream. 

• Foam Cleanser

Foam cleansers come in either cream or gel form and build up to a foamy consistency when mixed with water. The foam will reach in to clear out pores, remove dirt and also remove makeup. The primary component that produces the foaming action is sodium lauryl sulfate, albeit this solely depends on the formulation. Oily and mixed skin types are the best candidates for foam cleansers. 

While all skin types can benefit from foam cleansing, oily, combination, and normal skin types will likely reap the best results. For these skin types, cleansers in Japan are likely to leave the skin feeling clean and refreshed, without being stripped of its natural oils. Dry skin types can also benefit from foam cleansing, but they should be careful not to overdo it - they should monitor how their skin responds and foam cleanses as often as necessary, depending on their lifestyle and the current season. Especially in humid climates, even the driest of skin types can benefit from a good foam detox.

Here are some examples of Japanese cleansing foam such as Suqqu Enrich Foaming Wash With Sticky Foam, Ph Balancer Balance Whip W Cleanser Herbal Aroma Fragrance, or Kimeshiro Whip Foam Wash Bicarbonate.

If you want to get rid of acne or excess oil/sebum, you need a cleanser that can go deep into your pores and get rid of the gunk without too much effort. Foaming cleansers are perfect for this job. As mentioned earlier, they can also be good if you have sensitive skin provided that the foaming cleanser in question doesn’t contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS): 

• Pros:

Makes a tingling sensation

Can be great for oily or acne-prone skin 

Some foaming cleansers are good for sensitive skin

Provides a deep clean every time

Many can provide antioxidants to deeper skin layers

• Cons:

Cleansers with SLS can be bad for some skin types

A little messier than gel cleansers

• Cleansing Balm

Cleansing balms have similar properties to cleansing oils but they are more solid and have a rich and creamy texture that melts into a more oily texture on the skin. They are great for makeup removals because they can pamper the skin with nourishing ingredients. They have no-rinse as well as rinse-off options. You can use some beauty items, which is suitable for dry and normal skin such as Duo The Cleansing Balm White Moisturizing or Kimeshiro Melty Cleansing Balm Clear Moisturizing.
