Washes & Cleansers Reviews
What cleanser should I use? Foaming cleansers are great for oily/combination skin as they break down and reduce excess surface oil. Cream cleansers are great for normal/dry skin as remove impurities without breaking down too much oil. Oil based cleansers are perfect for dry/very dry skin and won’t remove vital skin oils.

Crème de La Mer The NEW Cleansing Gel
The NEW Crème de La Mer The Cleansing Gel is where it’s all at. I’m a huge fan of the original The Cleansing Gel, a cleanser that seems to last a scarily long amount of time; mine being near the end of its life after being in use for almost a year. So what’s the difference?…
