How do you know if a gel cleanser is for you?
Essentially, gel cleansers are suitable for all skin types, but you'll need to look at the ingredients to make sure your chosen product will help you reach your skin goals. Look for hyaluronic acid cleansers for extra hydration, salicylic acid for breakout-fighting benefits and vitamin C for that extra glow.
FAQs
What skin types are gel cleansers best for? Gel cleansers are ideal for oily, combination, and blemish-prone skin types. Their lightweight texture offers a refreshing cleanse that targets excess sebum and impurities without overwhelming the skin barrier.
Do gel cleansers strip the skin? Some can—especially those with harsh surfactants. Look for fragrance-free or alcohol-free formulas if your skin is sensitive. Gels with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid offer a balanced cleanse without tightness.
Can I use a gel cleanser in the morning and evening? Especially if you have oily or congested skin. In the morning, it removes overnight sweat and oil. In the evening, it works well as a second cleanse after a balm or oil.
How should I use it for best results? Apply to damp skin, massage in circular motions to create a gentle foam, and rinse with lukewarm water. Follow with moisturiser to lock in hydration.
