Facial cleansers – the first and most important step in skincare. A properly chosen cleanser removes makeup, excess oil, and impurities without damaging the skin's protective barrier. An unsuitable, overly strong cleanser can cause dryness, tightness, or irritation. In this category, you will find gel, cream, and foaming cleansers, as well as micellar waters – for every skin type and need.
How to choose a face cleanser?
Cleanser selection depends on your skin type and the texture you are looking for. The most important thing is that after cleansing, your skin feels clean but not tight. Main types of cleansers:
- Gel cleansers: for oily and combination skin – deeply cleanse pores and reduce shine.
- Cream cleansers and milks: for dry and sensitive skin – cleanse gently, without drying.
- Micellar water: for quick make-up removal without rinsing, suitable for travel.
- Cleansing foams: light, airy texture for gentle daily cleansing.
- Cleansers with acids or enzymes: gently exfoliate and smooth skin texture.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How often should I wash my face?
It is recommended to wash your face twice a day – in the morning and in the evening. Evening cleansing is especially important to remove make-up and daily impurities.
What cleanser is suitable for oily skin?
Gel cleansers are best for oily and acne-prone skin – they deeply cleanse pores and regulate excess oil.
Does micellar water replace a cleanser?
Micellar water is suitable for quick make-up removal, but for oily skin or after heavy make-up, it is worth washing additionally with a gel cleanser.
Why does my skin feel tight after cleansing?
A feeling of tightness usually means that the cleanser is too strong for your skin. Choose a milder, creamy, soap-free formula.
