​​Cleansing is the first step in your skincare routine. Cleansers dissolve daily dirt, grime, impurities and make-up, gently clearing the skin. You can use it daily. Unlike most soaps and body washes, cleansers do not contain the ingredient sodium lauryl sulfate, which is known to be a common skin irritant. …Cleansers are proven to be gentler than face washes and soaps.

Different types of cleanser are available in the market, but there are three types mainly used in skincare.

1. Oil-based cleanser 

2. Water-based cleanser and

3. Foam based cleanser.

It is very important to select a cleanser that is alcohol-free for dry, sensitive, or dehydrated skin.
