Cleansing gel and facial cleanser both seem to be used for cleaning the face

Cleansing gel and facial cleanser both seem to be used for cleaning the face, but there are significant differences between them. Here are the main features of both:

1. Physical properties: Facial cleansers generally contain oil, which effectively cleans and dissolves fat-soluble impurities. Cleansing gel is a water-based product, typically more suitable for oily or combination skin, and is also easier to rinse off.

2. Minimal Irritation Facial cleansers often incorporate gentle ingredients to minimize skin irritation. Being water-based, cleansing gels typically lack oil, resulting in very low irritation to the skin.

3. Cleaning effectThe cleansing gel thoroughly cleanses, efficiently eliminating dirt and oil from the pores. The facial cleanser primarily aims to restore oil balance and maintain skin hydration.

To choose the right facial cleanser, it's best to first understand your skin type. People with oily skin can prioritize choosing a cleansing gel, as using a cleansing milk might make the skin feel greasier. For dry and sensitive skin individuals, using a facial cleanser is suitable to avoid discomfort or dryness caused by excessive cleansing.
