Oily skin: foaming gel. Dry or sensitive: creamy wash.
The why
A milky, non-foaming cleanser with glycerin, panthenol, and niacinamide for simple, low-drama washing. Redditors reach for it around tretinoin and sensitivity, but studies found niacinamide’s acne evidence uncertain; pore-clogged or niacinamide-reactive skin may fare poorly.
