I've worked in the Marketing Team at Adore Beauty for almost a year now and love love love skincare! I'm all about vegan products and 5 plus step skincare routines. Recently I've been growing out my coloured hair and focusing on strength/length with hair masks and treatments.
A good cleanser is the backbone of your skincare routine, so it pays to make sure you are using one that is right for your complexion. Use our simple guide to help you decide which SkinCeuticals product you should use.
In this guide, we look at the Skinceuticals Blemish and age cleanser gel 240ml, the Skinceuticals Clarifying Cleanser, and the SkinCeuticals Gentle Cleanser, with a specific focus on skin that is sensitive, oily, and or acne prone.
By comparing these options within that scope, the guide is designed to make it easier to work out which cleanser best suits your skin type and concerns without straying beyond the needs of those particular complexions.
If you are trying to choose between these SkinCeuticals cleansers and want a clearer sense of which one aligns with your skin, this guide is intended to point you in the right direction while staying focused on the essentials.

I have semi oily skin and I've been using this cleanser for the last 2 years. It is a non drying cleanser and keeps my skin super clean and clear. Great gel cleanser that lathers up. If you have problematic skin - this is the one!
