St. Ives Naturally Clear Blemish Fighting Apricot Cleanser

Classic love

I love this one for the shower because I can afford to lose some down the drain & it works great. Not all I use but it combats only skin, dry skin gets exfoliated... some high priced brands mimic this stuff and don't come close. St Ives is great! I also like their sugar scrub & apricot scrub. I rotate these around for shower use.

Murad Refreshing Cleanser

Not so great

I bought this online and it made me break out badly--but a boutique told me the online version is a different formula than the ones sold in stores (?) anyway, it wasn't worth the price tag and havoc on my skin from the last round to find out (it took months for my skin to calm down from the very bad breakout.)

Chanel Precision Purete Purifying Deep-Cleansing Foam - Rinse Off

So far so good

Trying it out, so far I'm a fan with combo skin on the oily side--evens it out & feels actually uber-cleansed. (No makeup towel effect.)

Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser

Ok for dry skin... Oily= not so hot

I want to like it and it's great for makeup removal and in a pinch but it does make me break out. Way too oily fir a combo girl. Perhaps it's a seasonal thing that only works in very dry climates or winter? It's ok but not sure what everyone is raving about. It also has no tighteners that isn't such a bonus trait if you like firm skin. It's not an exfoliator either but it does remove dirt, much like regular soap plus lotion. I use it traveling on occasion, only because they make a trial size. It's decent, as is just about anything with water in it for the skin. For every day use I find it much too greasy & pore clogging.
