Foaming face wash for sensitive skin

I’m looking for a foaming face wash for really sensitive skin. I can’t use anything with citric acid, salicylic, lactic acid and silicones. I have used Simple for years but prefer something professional that is very gentle.

Thanks everyone. I am in Australia so I can’t get some of the brands here or I haven’t heard of them. I can get Cetaphil so might try that one.

I like the sound of DHC olive soap. Can you buy on high st or only online?

I tried Cetaphil after reading about it on here but found it surprisingly harsh on my skin Sad

Reading back through previous posts has reminded me that I bought the Waitrose Pure own brand sensitive gel cleanser once and that was very good. Would definitely recommend if you can get it there?

My 12 year old had dreadful spots, really sensitive skin, can’t use most soaps on her body let alone her face, comes out in a rash with anything other than Fairy detergent, Cetaphil has cleared it up. I actually insisted on washing her face for a few weeks, Cetaphil rubbed in and then wiped off with a warm muslin. Then LRP moisturiser, the calming one, where necessary.

I was on the verge of taking her to the doctor - so pleased it worked but of course everyone is different.

*messyhouse" DHC is a Japanese brand, available online (I buy it from Amazon)

Honestly, I have tried SO many cleansers and foaming ones just piss my skin off.

I'm totally in love with my Glossier wash off gel one. It's non foaming, smells glorious and my skin definitely appreciates it.

Thank you @Lisbon

If you're in Australia you NEED this! It transformed my skin and that is no understatement. I also have the worlds most sensitive skin, even Simple products bring me out in a rash. Plus it's £8 (I buy it over the internet in England now I live back here). It's an Aus brand so you can get it absolutely everywhere there, even in cheap chemists.

Weleda foaming face wash. It can be brought from amazon, really pure and organic

We can get Sukin here. Unfortunately the wash contains citric acid. I don’t know why they put it in products for sensitive skin. I have used their products and they irritate my skin.
