What's the most gentle FOAMING cleanser out there?

[MetzFan]

Preferably one without fragrances or dyes.

I'd be willing to buy online if I have to.

Thanks.

my dermatologist recommended purpose cleanser by johnson and johnson, and it is pretty gentle. i haven't tried the dhc one...that one sounds nice too. but if you want to take a run to the drugstore and try it, it is only 3 dollars i think. can't beat that! works for me, and i use retin a and glycolic peels regularly.

Have you tried Cetaphil?

Elizabeth Arden Sensitive Skin Calming Foamy Cleanser. I use it to remove eye make-up because it's that gentle (it doesn't sting if it gets in your eyes). It's not the best for removing make-up, so you'll probably have to wash with it twice.

Try clay cleansers. They're one of the most gentle cleansers meant for oily or dry but acne prone skin. Origins makes a nice foaming one.

I used to use the Pond's algae foaming cleanser which is pretty gentle.

... so if you are looking for something which does foam... Cetaphil probably isn't the best choice for you.

Olay's Gentle Foaming Face Wash for Sensitive Skin. I don't have sensitive skin, but wash my face with this when I use actives like prescription retinoids and glycolic acids 9 months out of the year. (In the summer, I use self-tanners ... too bad these two regimes don't mix!

)

There is little to no smell, and best of all: it gets rid of mascara!

cetaphil is extremely gentle and dermatologists rave about it! i have used it a lot in the past, but i have to say, it does not remove makeup well at all. i just ordered dhc's deep oil cleanser, which is supposed to be really great at removing makeup. i checked out the reviews on this page and decided to order it. that is supposed to be really gentle too. so maybe you could use that to remove makeup and the cetaphil cleanser. lots of dermatologists use it themselves. i bought a big bottle of it for my boyfriend who is 40 and has really sensitive skin, and his skin has definately improved!
