Cleanser types — face wash guides

Gel, foam, cream, oil and micellar — how each face wash format behaves on skin, who it suits, and when the texture genuinely changes the result.

Written in house

Every guide is researched and written by our editorial team, not spun from other sites.

Reviewed on a schedule

Each guide carries the date of its last review, and we publish the date even when nothing changed.

No paid placements

No brand, retailer or clinic can buy a mention, a ranking or a link here.

Twelve languages

Every guide is translated, not machine-popped — each language has its own URL and its own review date.

Not medical advice

We say plainly when a problem is beyond a cleanser and belongs with a dermatologist.
