La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Face Cleanser Versus Paula's Choice Skin Recovery Softening Cream Cleanser

decent!
i’d say this is a good choice for those with oily skin, but it was slightly irritating when i first used it, though that pretty much went away later

Ceramides! Pro-B5! Vitamin E! Niacinamide! Glycerin! There is so much good I would suggest looking through each ingredient on SkinSort or another skincare ingredient database if you aren't up to speed on all of the potential benefits the skin can reap from these ingredients with informed and correct product use. I really can't complain about this cleanser, and I may have some bias towards it only because I've used it without a single issue for twelve months. However, objectively speaking many cleansers tend to pack in subtle ingredients often overlooked for potential to cause irritation (i.e., fragrances, sulfates, alcohols) to the skin's dynamic barrier. Niacinamide in this product may have the potential to cause skin irritation for some users, however, in cleanser form you will be washing off product relatively soon after application so this shouldn't be as relevant of a concern as opposed to a serum or even moisturizer containing niacinamide.

I love how non-intrusive it feels
It does its job very well, without even feeling like you're being stripped of all your oils. Just wish it would foam up a little more.

I have very dry, sensitive, mature skin and have been using this creamy cleanser for many years. It is gentle and non drying but still removes my makeup well. I use a separate remover for mascara and use an oil cleanser as a first cleanse if I have on waterproof sunscreen. But for many years I just used this cleanser and it removed everything well, so an oil cleanser probably is unnecessary TBH. I highly recommend this cleanser for dry, sensitive skin.
