Best cleanser for sore sensitive skin

[pussinboots61]

My skin is sore and sensitive. Can you recommend a good but not too expensive cleanser.

Try using olive oil

Coconut oil is very gentle

Second the coconut oil. Very gentle and about £6 for a huge pot that lasts months.

Try garnier micellar water

When my skin was really sore and itchy the only thing it would tolerate was almond oil although I would imagine any of the oils suggested would have worked too.

Micellar water made my face itch.

I use coconut oil and then warm water with a muslin cloth. I've found I need to wash off the oil properly to avoid any breakouts! I then moisturise a lot.

Neals yard wild rose beauty balm. My skin is very sensitive due to chemotherapy and this works wonders.

Lush Ultrabland, washed off with water on a flannel.

Micellar water brings my skin out in a rash.

Boots No7 do a good one, very gentle ( it's the pink one!)

Waitrose pure range is on special offer, they have a polish cleanser balm and cleansing wash. I have bought the latter to try out.

They also have a facial oil you could try as a cleanser.

Cetaphil (cleanser and moisturising lotion) have been great for my sensitive rosacea prone skin

I have sensitive skin and find keeping a simple routine stops the soreness. I use cetaphil cleanser (you can find it in the E45 section in Boots. Costs about £7/8 but lasts a couple of months). Apply it to dry skin and then rinse with water/flannel. I then use a few drops of jojoba oil and apply to damp face. Jojoba oil is closest to thing to natural sebum so provides moisture but doesn't cause breakouts (at least for me). I find even moisturisers for sensitive skin can irritate my skin.

Sadly cetaphil is not kind to my skin. It seems to clog it up.

Micellar water hurts my skin. Clarins melting cleanser is nice.
