How to choose a face wash

• Oily skin and active breakouts — a salicylic acid face wash. Salicylic acid dissolves in oil, so it reaches inside a blocked pore.
• Blackheads and city pollution — activated charcoal face wash. Lifts grime without stripping.
• Dull, uneven skin — vitamin C face wash, to clear off sunscreen and pollution so your serum can work.
• Dry or sensitive skin — rice milk face wash. Non-foaming, and the safest choice while your skin is recovering from an active.

The free test

If your skin feels tight or squeaky two minutes after washing, that wash is too harsh for you. Tight is not clean — tight is stripped, and stripped skin produces more oil by afternoon.

Honest expectation: a face wash alone will not clear acne. It prepares the skin; the treatment does the work. Anyone selling a cleanser as a cure is selling you the wrong step.
