Aquanil Cleanser
I can't remember how I found out about Aquanil but I'm glad I did! After years of using Cetaphil, my skin began to become sensitized to it (I'm thinking it was because of all the parbens it contains). Aquanil does not use parabens; plus, it contains yummy ingredients that act as humectants which means skin that stays moist and soft! Can't beat that! Love, love, love Aquanil. It is a staple in my skin care regimen! This cleanser was recommended to me by a dermatologist. I have rosacea and my skin is very sensitive. I also have blepheritis, and I can use this to clean my eyelids with no irritation of my eyes. I love this product, and I'm getting more for myself and some for my mother.After I had really bad damaged skin from using benzoyl peroxide products for my acne..i finally gave up after my face was so sore that it would sting and turn red after only splashing with water! i went to the dermatologist, and since i had such severe sensitivity..he gave me a bunch of samples such as cetaphil, CeraVe, and Aquanil, plus some topical medication for acne. Cetaphil..I completely hated it, so, I bounced back and forth between CeraVe and Aquanil, since I only had the sample bottles. I'd say that they both were of good quality, and helped my skin get back to normal. I probably would have bought the Aquanil and gave it 5 stars, if it didn't have SLS in it though.I absolutely love this cleanser. I've used numerous different cleansers over the years, but this is the first that didn't completely dry out my face and actually felt clean at the same time. Highly recommend.I started checking out facial cleansers on Amazon because, in my late 20's I'm experiencing yet again some terrible break outs like I did back in high school. It seems the last few weeks I've tried everything and nothing worked and the toughest concealer wasn't enough to hide it. Along with the breakout, I was getting welts and redness on my cheeks, and the skin was uncomfortable and hot to touch. So I got this stuff based on the good reviews and because it was extremely mild and soap free, since I didn't think my skin could tolerate any more harshness. Its mild, has no odor and is soap free which is a plus, but i do wear light makeup every day and this wasn't enough to thoroughly clean it off every night. I know this because I gently ran a finger nail down my face after cleansing it with this stuff and there was makeup on my finger. To make matters a little worse, I started getting white heads (milia) around my cheek and chin area.. i'm pretty sure because this didn't cleanse well enough and my pores we just backing up with junk. I'm still on the hunt for another facial cleanser, but i'll keep this only because it makes a good shaving lotion. I guess thats a benefit.
