st ives isnt a good exfoliator it is too rough for the skin ..i love burts bee's one feels fantastic on the skin..i know aveeno is great, cetaphil is great non comedegenic so it wont clog pores either
ALL cleansers by ALL brands are soposed to deliver diffrent results. Try CLEAR SKIN, AVON or MARK. they seem to have a good selection of cleansers and they arnt pricey.
I've been using Mark. Help Wanted Anti Acne Exfoliating Cleanser. I'm a mark rep and I decided to go with this after my last cleanser. SUCH a big difference. It's gentler, it has tiny exfoliating beads that aren't rough, it doesn't dry my skin out, it's helped clear up my acne, it's creamy, it has a light smell, nothing perfumey. I'm very pleased with it.
I use it in conjuction with my Mark. Matte Chance Mattifying Lotion
I low st Ives green tea cleanser, it actually worked on my stubborn acne :) and don't exfoliate with the scrubs, it tears your skin. If you exfoliate, do and enzyme or heat based one. 2 times a week for oily skin and once for dry skin. Hope this helps!
I agree with Delilah C., Purity is amazing for me. I know of some people reacting pretty poorly to it though so make sure the ingredients are okay for you. Also Fresh makes a great soy cleanser that is very gentle but removes makeup pretty decently. I've recently tried Amore Pacific's Treatment Foaming Cleanser and I liked that, but it is rather pricey so I'm not sure if it's something you're interested in. You can get a small size from Sephora's website to try it out though. Also oatmeal is a great way to clean your skin too! The oatmeal helps soak up some of your skin's oils and it feels really nice. Good luck <3
