Cleanser woes part 2
Hey guys! So I posted here a bit ago about struggling to find cleansers that work for me, particular in relation to first cleaners in a double cleanse. Someone suggested The Ordinary’s Squalane Cleanser and it actually removes my makeup and doesn’t irritate my skin, so that you so much to that person 🙏🏻
But here’s the problem. I mentioned in that post that I’ve been using La Roche Posay Toleraine cleanser as my regular cleanse, as it seems to be the only one that doesn’t irritate my skin. But the issue is, I’ve began to break out. I tried switching it out with other things - which will really irritate my skin, but I won’t break out, then I return to LRP relieved it’s not irritating my skin, just to break out again…
For reference - I’ve tried many of the ‘gentle’ cleansers. Avene extremely gentle cleanser, the Aveeno cleanser, Cerave Hydrating Cleanser, Byoma milky cleanser. But my skin will always feel itchy with an almost burning sensation afterwards. Very uncomfortable.
So yeah, this is driving me kinda crazy at this point and genuinely getting quite upsetting 😅 if anyone here faces any similar issues and has found a solution, please let me know what’s worked for you!
