Daily Facial Wash

I'm using the Neutrogena Naturals Facial Cleaners which almost finish and I have to buy another one or different kind. I'm using for almost a month and half in the shower every night. It doesn't make me any break out or anything. I need you to help me to find a really good facial wash. I heard that Jack Black Clean Formula Face Bar and Shave Soap is really good but I never try it have you? Does make you any irritated or any break out or anything? It doesn't dried out your skin at all.

What about Natural bath soap with shea butter that would be all right.

Do you know any of facial wash/cleaners that work really well for sensitive skins?

The Body Shop men's face wash was one of my favourite products for a very long time. I have used their Vitamin E and Grapefruit seed face washes as well -- and liked them very much.

However, about 3 years ago, I gave up face washes altogether -- and just duck my face under a running shower head of hot water -- works for me, ymmv.

Chris, the best product for you will be determined by your skin type and personal sensitivities. My oily complexion is such that I also face wash during the day (around lunch time) and most of the time I use a glycerin soap.

Chris, I have a lot of experience with over the counter type facial soaps. It's not scented or sexy, but Cetaphil is very effective. I only gave it a chance because a doctor recommended it to me.

If you're looking for a luxurious experience with scents and creams then look elsehwere. If you want no frills and results for sensitive skin Cetaphil will be the last facial soap you buy.

I'll note that I'm in line with Squire on this one, Cetaphil is a glycerin based soap. I apologize for the "hard sell," but your post reminds me of the frustration I felt going through so many facial cleansers in my younger years hoping to solve my "problem" skin. The problem skin is mostly gone now, but I continue to enjoy Cetaphil 15 years later.

Cetaphil is a great facial wash and the only one I will use. The sensitive is super gentle, doesn't dry out my skin at all, and is readily available. I haven't tried out Jack Black or the others but I don't really have any desire to.

If you have found something that works well and you have difficult skin, I would not recommend changing. I have tried a lot of different options; soaps, washes, and just plain water. Unless you have reason to feel you can improve, stick with what works for you.

It has only been in the last 6 years or so that my face has been giving me grief. Don't know why, but now in my late 30s I have combination skin and have a devil of a time with getting it clean without ending up too dry or too oily. Cetaphil worked okay, but then I found SebaMed which is absolutly fantastic for me. It is probalby not for everyone, as it irrated the heck out of my sisters face when she was visiting. The scent is probably not for everyone either. Not sure how widely available it is, but I found it at Costco at about 1/2 the cost I have seen online.

I'm being tempted by CeraVe's Foaming facial wash, as it's unscented, unlike the Cetaphil competition, and is supposed to be non-stripping. It's expensive for a drugstore brand, though.

Chris, I'm not in any way trying to influence your choices. I just don't have any interest in any of the Jack Black products. If you take the plunge and buy it. please give us a report on how it works for you, OK? Meanwhile, maybe someone else here might have experience with the soap bar, and can post about it for us.

Personally, I found the bar a tad drying on the face. Their Pure Skin is really good, albeit a tad expensive. It is very gentle, no fake scent and non drying.

Never, ever used one. Occasionally use some soap on nose/forehead in shower - rest of the face gets heavily cleansed/exfoliated every day (shaving).

this may sound odd, but it really works! And as a bonus it's a great exfoliator.......

I use sugar. Yep, simply wet your face then sprinkle about 1 teaspoon into your hand, and work it like soap. It give's you about 10 seconds of scrubbing action. Rinse, put on a balm, or a moisturizer ~ and you're good to go.

I'd probably do it pre-shaving, but what ever would work for you.

I'd be too busy trying to lick my own face that I wouldn't get any exfoliating accomplished.

That's an innovative idea, and I can't see any problem with it. Salt might work as well. But if I were looking for a simple old-fashioned facial scrub, I'd probably try baking soda first. It has a hundred uses in the household outside of cookery. For example, I use it once in a while as a toothpaste because it effectively removes coffee and tobacco stains.
