There are so many cleansers out there, so a hydrating cleanser really focuses on cleaning skin without stripping moisture and hydration. Unlike some traditional cleansers that can remove natural oils and leave you feeling dry or tight, hydrating cleansers are formulated to be more gentle and to help maintain the skins natural moisture balance. These are a great choice if you have dry or combo skin. It is less effective as a cleanser for oily skin.

　　What ingredients should I look for in a hydrating cleanser? When looking for a hydrating cleanser, its important to choose products that contain ingredients designed to nourish and hydrate the skin while effectively cleansing it. And - as we all know - when it comes to finding the right ingredients for our skin, it can be a pretty tough test.

　　The trick is to look for a cleanser that contains a combination of moisture-boosting ingredients. You can find these in choices such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin, ceramides, aloe vera and squalane to ensure that it effectively cleanses while also delivering hydration. Its really important to remember to choose a product that is suitable for your specific skin type and concerns, whether you have dry, sensitive, or normal skin - because, what works for one person may not work for another. For example, cleansers with salicylic acid are best for oily skin prone to breakouts, not so skin that needs hydration.
