Dove Sensitive Skin Foaming Facial Cleanser
I’m always on the search for the perfect cleanser for my oily, sensitive skin so I was pretty excited when I saw Dove’s Sensitive Skin Foaming Facial Cleanser at the drugstore. I knew I had to give it a try.
First off, I really like the packaging. Because everyone is going on vacation or heading out for a weekend away during the summer, the flip top lid is perfect for putting in your suitcase – you don’t have to worry about it getting all over the place.
I found that this cleanser left my face feeling clean – it got all the makeup off – without stripping my skin of it’s moisture. You can’t go wrong with that. I also liked that it didn’t have a fragrance. It’s kind of nice not being bombarded with yet another smell while getting ready in the morning. I really only needed a small amount to clean my face – it lasted longer than I thought it would.
Available at your local drugstore for $10.

Neutrogena Pore Refining Cleanser
When I saw this cleanser at the store I was impressed with the claim of being able to make pores appear smaller. Who doesn’t want their pores smaller? However, after using almost all of it I had to say I haven’t noticed a difference in the appearance of my pore size. I’m kind of disappointed.
But in general I really liked this cleanser. I have pretty sensitive skin and I guess I didn’t read the back properly but when I used it for the first time I found out it has microbeads. Usually microbeads and my skin don’t make for a great combination, but these ones didn’t irritate my skin.
I sometimes have trouble with cleansers really drying out my skin, but once again, I didn’t have this problem. My face always felt really clean after washing it but never tight or dry.
The scent was great too. I found it to be light but it still smelled good too. It’s not too overwhelming in the morning after you’ve just woken up like some products.
