8 Face Washes Perfect for Your Sensitive Skin

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Lasell chapter.

I have had sensitive skin all my life, it can be both dry and oily. Over my teen years, these are the best face washes I have found for sensitive skin that do not dry out your skin.

1.St Ives Green Tea Blackhead Remover

This face wash is a go-to for me. It is a great green tea facial scrub that removes imperfections and smells good too! This face wash cleans out your pores really well. It is fairly inexpensive too.

2.Clean & Clear

This has always been a favorite of mine! It is great for oily skin because it is oil free and it never has dried out my skin. It is a deep action cream cleanser, so it is a great daily face wash and clears out pores. This is a great starter one for sensitive skin and if you are looking for an inexpensive one.

3.Biore Charcoal

This face wash is a great one for oily skin. Charcoal is great for pore cleansing. It detoxifies and reduces pores. I would recommend using a moisturizer after using.  

4. Neutrogena Hydro-boost Hydrating Gel Cleanser

Neutrogena is typically a company we can count on for sensitive skin products. Packed with hydrating hyaluronic acid, just a little bit of this lightweight, soap-free face wash goes a long way. The gel turns into a smooth, creamy lather, and easily washes off.

5.Dove Beauty Bar

Most bar soaps are a disaster for dry skin, but this bar from Dove will leave your dry face feeling soft and supple. In fact, one-quarter of this unscented, hypoallergenic bar is packed with moisturizing cream. One pack contains two bars, this is also one of the most inexpensive ways to cleanse.

6.Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser

Cetaphil is also another pretty reliable company. This face wash wins for how gentle it is while still being effective. The formula washes away impurities without stripping moisture. It’s also unscented and noncomedogenic (so it won’t clog your pores)—making this an especially great face wash for acne-prone skin, too.

7.La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Cleanser

Free of parabens, oils, and fragrances, this creamy face wash from La-Roche-Posay gently buffs away makeup and dirt while offering a boost of moisture. This one is a little bit on the pricier side, but if you are willing to spend the money it is a great choice!

8.First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser

While this fragrance-free face wash has a whipped texture out of the tube, it transforms into cream once it is massaged into your skin with water. As it lifts away grime, it also hydrates and soothes irritation because of a pro blend of glycerin, aloe, licorice root, and white tea extracts.

    Hope one of these face washes works out great for you and you find your new favorite face wash from this list!
