Face Cleansers, Scrubs, & Toners

Discover the right dermatologist-developed facial cleanser for your skin

Your facial skin care routine begins by washing your face with the best face cleanser or soap for your unique skin type.

CLEANSE your face with a good facial cleanser that removes dead cells, dirt, debris, unwanted germs, sebum, and product residue. It will allow your skin to maximally absorb the next products you apply to treat and CORRECT your skin. This can lead to clearer, smoother, and more radiant skin.

Use a gentle exfoliating scrub when washing your face to further improve skin penetration of your correcting and hydrating products in the next step of your routine. This will help brighten your complexion even more.

Your facial cleansing products need to match your skin type

Finding the best face cleanser for your unique skin type is essential. Whether you have acne-prone skin, oily skin, dry skin, or something in between, use the right cleanser to avoid stripping your skin's natural moisture barrier. 

One of the biggest skin care mistakes people make is washing their face with a cleanser that is too harsh for their skin. This will damage your precious skin barrier, creating skin dryness and irritation.

On the other extreme, cleansers that are too gentle for your unique skin will fail to clean skin well and slow the results from your skin care routine. It’s a balancing act!

Plus, cleansers are not just cleansers:

• Some cleansers exfoliate while cleansing.
• Others will deliver treating ingredients to CORRECT conditions such as rosacea, acne, and seborrheic dermatitis.
• At times, a toner used as a second cleansing step after washing is ‘just what the doctor ordered’ to shrink or unclog pores, treat acne, or soothe skin.

Your 4-step routine for a radiant complexion

Your facial cleanser is the first and important CLEANSE step in your 4-step Complete Skin Care Routine: Cleanse, Correct, Hydrate, Protect.

Some facial cleansers may also multitask and efficiently begin to CORRECT skin problems such as acne, seborrhea, or dull skin.

As a dermatologist I know that there is no single facial cleanser or cleansing step that fits everyone. That's why I have a range of cleansers, face soaps, toners, and exfoliating scrubs which use impactful ingredients such as salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide to mention just a few.
