Begin your skincare routine with a formulated, luxurious cleansing cream for your face. At Dermstore, we've created a collection of gentle cream cleansers and face washes by leading brands including SkinCeuticals and Eminence.
A cream-based cleanser works well for sensitive and dry skin types as these tend to be gentle and hydrating with less likelihood of stripping skin of natural oils. Look for ingredients such as soothing chamomile and ceramides, along with restorative peptides. Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Whitney Bowe says in her guide to the different types of cleansers that she especially likes cream cleansers for dry, sensitive, and mature skin: ""Look for ingredients in them like ceramides and niacinamide to help support a healthy skin barrier, and hyaluronic acid and glycerin to help trap water in the skin, keeping it hydrated."" A cream cleanser is also ideal for use as part of a double cleanse. When applied as your second cleanse, it can thoroughly remove makeup or other debris while leaving a protective moisturizing layer.
While they're well known for their soothing properties, there are facial cleansing creams that also include chemical exfoliants such as alpha hydroxy acids. These gently remove dead skin cells and prep the skin for the next stage in your routine.
To help you choose the best cream-based cleanser for your skin type, you can browse by skin concern. We have cream cleansers for dry skin and products designed to restore balance to oily skin. You can also shop by morning or evening routine to help you add key products at optimal times of day.
At Dermstore, we ensure all our products are backed by our Medical Advisory Board of Dermatologists. If you need help finding the best cream cleanser, we can offer tailored recommendations and will explore the best products for your skin.
