Face Cleanser vs Face Wash: Understanding the Difference
Skincare begins with cleansing, but the choice between a face cleanser and a face wash can be confusing. While both serve the purpose of cleaning the skin, they cater to different skin needs and function differently. Let’s break down the difference and discover why Mea Bloom’s Calming Cleanser is a superior choice for modern skincare enthusiasts.
Face Cleanser vs. Face Wash: The Key Differences
| Features | Face Cleanser | Face Wash |
| Function | Removes dirt, excess oil, dead skin and impurities gently | Cleanses deep layers by removing oil, dirt and sweat from pores |
| Texture | Creamy, gel-like or milky | Foamy or gel-based |
| Best for Skin type | Dry, sensitive, normal or combination skin | Oily, acne-prone or combination skin |
| Usage | Used to dissolve makeup, sunscreen and pollution particles | Used to wash away sweat, grime and oil build-up |
| Hydration level | Hydrating and nourishing | Can dry the skin |
| Gentleness | Gentler than the Face Wash | Gentle than Soap |
| Frequency | Can be used twice daily or as needed | Best used once a day |
| Common Ingredients | Soothing botanicals (e.g., Kalanchoe, Aloe vera, Chamomile), humectants (e.g., Glycerin, Hyaluronic Acid) and mild exfoliant (natural BHAs) | Surfactants (e.g., sulphates or alternative), acne-fighting ingredients (e.g., Tea Tree oil) |
Which One Should You Use?
- If your skin is sensitive, dry, or combination, a face cleanser is the better choice as it is gentle and doesn’t strip natural oils.
- If your skin is oily or acne-prone, a face wash may help control excess oil and keep pores unclogged.
- For some, a double cleansing routine works best—starting with a cleanser to remove impurities, followed by a face wash for a deep cleanse.
