Best Face Wash For Sensitive Acne Prone Skin
The best face wash for sensitive acne prone skin should be very gentle and does not irritate the skin. Ideally, it should not leave any oily residue on the face as well. Even though Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser is highly recommended by dermatologists for those with sensitive and/or acne prone skin, I have tried it and do not like it because it does not seem to clean the skin well and leave an oily residue on my face, which causes some breakouts. I have better recommendations than Cetaphil, and I hope these cleansers work well for you too.
