Choosing a facial cleanser that suits your skin type is crucial for maintaining skin health. Here are the methods to choose facial cleanser according to different skin types:

Dry skin type

Characteristics: Dry skin lacks oil and moisture, making it easy to feel tight, dry, and even prone to peeling, fine lines, and other symptoms.

Key points for selection: It is necessary to choose a facial cleanser with high moisturizing and nourishing effects. This type of facial cleanser usually contains rich moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin, ceramides, etc. Hyaluronic acid can absorb hundreds of times its own weight of water, replenishing moisture for the skin; Glycerol can form a protective film on the surface of the skin to prevent moisture loss; Ceramides help repair the skin barrier and enhance the skin's water retention ability.

Product example: Freeplus Cleansing Cream, an amino acid facial cleanser, contains a variety of plant essence and moisturizing ingredients, which can effectively moisturize the skin while cleaning, and will not make the skin feel tight after washing.

Oily skin type

Characteristics: The sebaceous glands of oily skin secrete vigorously, and the surface of the skin is often oily and prone to acne, pimples, and blackheads.

Key points for selection: You should choose an oil controlling facial cleanser that has strong cleansing ability but does not excessively irritate the skin. In terms of ingredients, attention can be paid to products containing salicylic acid, witch hazel extract, tea tree essential oil, etc. Salicylic acid can penetrate deep into pores, remove aged keratin and excess oil, and prevent acne and pimples; The extract of witch hazel has the effects of astringing pores and regulating oil secretion; Tea tree essential oil has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, which can help improve inflammation in oily skin.

Product example: Neutrogena Deep Cleansing Facial Cleanser, which contains salicylic acid, can effectively clean oil and dirt, and also has a certain improvement effect on acne prone skin.

Neutral skin type

Characteristics: Neutral skin is the most ideal skin type, with a balance of moisture and oil. The skin is smooth, delicate, elastic, and has relatively small pores.

Key points for selection: Choose a mild and moderately cleansing facial cleanser, with the main purpose of maintaining skin cleanliness and balance. You can choose facial cleansers that contain natural plant extracts, amino acids, and other ingredients, and avoid using products that contain too many chemical components or have strong irritants.

Product example: Estee Lauder cleansing and softening facial cleanser, which is mild and clean, contains a variety of plant essence, and can maintain the good condition of neutral skin.

Mixed skin type

Characteristics: The T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) of mixed skin tends to be oily, while areas such as the cheeks may be dry or neutral.

Key points for selection: Partition cleaning is required. The T-zone can use a strong cleansing oil control facial cleanser, while the cheeks can use moisturizing or mild facial cleansers. Or choose some facial cleansers with zonal care function. For example, some facial cleansers can produce strong cleaning foam in the T zone, and produce mild and moist foam in the cheeks.

Product example: Lanzhi Multi Effect Cleansing Cream, with moderate cleansing ability, is more suitable for overall cleansing of mixed skin types. At the same time, if combined with zone cleaning techniques, it can better meet the needs of mixed skin types.
