It was suggested by my dermatologist and you can buy it at the drugstore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-facial-cleanser#post-501509 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 13:32:29 +0000 Scarlet 501509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use a creamy cleanser like others here have said. I find it doesn't much matter which one, but following up with a toner to restore the skin's pH and using a serum before moisturizing has really helped me with the issue you describe. Cleanser and moisturizer alone gives me flaky skin, then I would try to use more moisturizer to make up for the dryness and wind up with clogged pores.</p> <p>ETA: This gets my makeup off, but if I am wearing eyeliner I find it may be necessary to use eye makeup remover too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-facial-cleanser#post-500452 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 03:54:31 +0000 Isabel 500452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I have the Mia ( that is the smaller, "travel" one ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-facial-cleanser#post-500282 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 01:25:20 +0000 Jenava 500282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I run out of the toner product I have also used jojoba oil to remove my makeup (or just to oil up my skin at night in the winter when it super dry). The only problem is it isn't good for removing eye makeup - the oil sticks in my eyelashes and makes a film on my eyes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-facial-cleanser#post-500281 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 01:22:55 +0000 D'Ellen 500281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I swear by DHC Deep Cleansing Oil for makeup removal and their Mild Soap or Face Wash for cleansing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-facial-cleanser#post-500277 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 01:19:59 +0000 Jenava 500277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, I use Cetaphil, too! I use the cleanser for normal skin (the one for dry skin doesn't clean well, IMO). Then, I use my Clarisonic (yes, the Mia) AFTER I rinse (I don't like the cleanser sitting on my face because it drys my skin). I find it's good for exfoliation, more so than makeup removal. My products are more effective when my skin is well exfoliated.</p> <p>Then, after all that, I use this toner/cleanser that you leave on. It's applied with a cotton pad and gets my remaining eye makeup and foundation, etc. off:</p> <p><a href="http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=255666&#038;catid=183591&#038;aid=337953&#038;aparam=la_roche_posay_physiolog&#038;CAWELAID=490169216" rel="nofollow">http://www.drugstore.com/produ.....=490169216</a></p> <p>Since I've switched to jane iredale makeup I don't have as much problem getting my foundation off though. I used to use a waterproof Dior formula that was a pain to get off, although it really wore well.</p> <p>I also have pretty dry skin. I love the cetaphil facial moisterizer for dry skin, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-facial-cleanser#post-500244 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 00:31:11 +0000 Anonymous 500244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use good old Cetaphil from the drugstore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-facial-cleanser#post-500213 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 00:05:03 +0000 morethanbeige 500213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the help. Is it the basic Clarisonic Mia that you all are speaking about? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-facial-cleanser#post-500159 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 23:10:17 +0000 Anonymous 500159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I recently had to switch from a sudsy cleanser to something creamy. It is not as emolliant as Ponds, but if Ponds or EVOO is too heavy for you try St. Ives Fresh Skin make-up remover and facial cleanser. You remove it with a damp washcloth and it does a great job of taking off mascara. It's super inexpensive, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-facial-cleanser#post-500117 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 22:23:07 +0000 Sarah 500117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use Boscia eye cream, vitamin C Serum, and the daily moisturizer. My favorite so far! Smoothing and moisturizing without being greasy. It feels like it soaks in and doesn't just sit on the surface. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-facial-cleanser#post-500097 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 21:59:02 +0000 Parsley 500097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use Neutrogena Extra Gentle Cleanser and it's great for my dry, sensitive skin. You can rinse it off or just wipe off to leave a slight moisturizing film on your face.</p> <p>I use it with my Clarisonic Mia. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-facial-cleanser#post-500093 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 21:55:03 +0000 nicoleb 500093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The face cleanser i use is Cerave (if anyone has eczema prone skin/dry skin like i do i SWEAR by this stuff. It's a life saver). It claims to remove makeup but it's pretty gentle i usually remove makeup either with olive oil or jojoba oil. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-facial-cleanser#post-500089 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 21:51:39 +0000 Isabel 500089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second Di. In the Winter, everything seems to make my skin drier. So I started using Pond's Cold Cream. I LOVE it. I even use my Clarisonic with it sometimes or I use Neutrogena Neutrals . There is a new, creamy one that takes off make-up as well ( it is a take on Philoshophy's Hope is Not Enough ), but I do prefer the Ponds on cold days.</p> <p>Now, don't think that I am crazy, but years ago I saw an interview with Cindy Crawford and she said that with dry skin, it is imperative to "layer" moisturizer. So when my skin is really dry, I use Oil of Olay light moisturizing cream first, then I use Pond's night cream. I used to use Clinque's yellow face lotion ( I forgot the name ), but for me Oil of Olay works just as well as the "underlayer". </p> <p>( I know several people who swear by oil in the Winter )</p> <p>Oh, Clinique's is Dramatically Different....and it is !</p> <p>Good Luck ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-facial-cleanser#post-500007 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 20:18:30 +0000 Di 500007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I wear makeup, it's Pond's cold cream to take that off, and then Cetaphil and my Clarisonic brush. (I bought the brush in the beginning of December, and I have to say that, while it's not a miracle product, it's made a big, big difference for me. I still break out, but my skin heals WAY faster now.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-facial-cleanser#post-499988 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 19:53:40 +0000 rae 499988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use a combo of castor oil (more castor oil for more oily skin) and EVOO or sometimes camellia oil, which is supposed to be good for my scars. I usually do this just once, at night. I'll add a bit of Tea Tree Oil sometimes, too.<br /> <a href="http://onedollarwonders.blogspot.com/2011/11/40-centsweek-custom-blend-oil-cleanser.html" rel="nofollow">http://onedollarwonders.blogsp.....anser.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-facial-cleanser#post-499976 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 19:37:26 +0000 Sona 499976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you may need additional makeup remover as others have mentioned if you have a lot of it on else cetaphil does do the trick. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-facial-cleanser#post-499975 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 19:28:57 +0000 morethanbeige 499975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Rae. Do you do that every night? And with cooking olive oil? I like the idea of using oil. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-facial-cleanser#post-499974 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 19:27:42 +0000 annagybe 499974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't wear heavy make-up, tinted moisturizer, blush and tube mascara normally. If I'm wearing more eye make-up I still use a separate eye make-up remover. If I'm lazy or tired the Cetaphil alone isn't the greatest at removing everything. But the Dermalogica plus the Clairsonic gets everything off. I've had my Clairsonic for almost three years now, worth the investment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-facial-cleanser#post-499972 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 19:24:05 +0000 RoseandJoan 499972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish, I have not yet tried it but must and soon<br /> <a href="http://uk.lizearle.com/cleanse-tone-moisturise/cleanse-and-polish-hot-cloth-cleanser.html?cmp=google_cleanse&#038;kw=cleanse+and+polish+e" rel="nofollow">http://uk.lizearle.com/cleanse.....d+polish+e</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-facial-cleanser#post-499970 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 19:21:21 +0000 morethanbeige 499970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Anna.

You only need a tiny bit and it gets makeup off SO WELL. I only use it at night to wash off my makeup, and follow with a great moisturizer.<br /> In the morning, I just splash water on my face and move on to my eye cream/moisturizing routine.<br /> If you go to Sephora, you should be able to ask for a sample to take home and try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-facial-cleanser#post-499956 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 18:53:54 +0000 morethanbeige 499956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sona.
