Introduction

Facial cleansers labeled as gentle soaps cleanse without disrupting the skin barrier. Cream or lotion textures leave skin soft rather than tight.

  • Surfactant type influences how much natural oil is removed during washing.
  • Added ceramides or glycerin support moisture retention after rinsing.
  • Fragrance and essential-oil content vary to accommodate different sensitivity thresholds.

Choose a soap texture and ingredient profile that suits your skin's needs.
