Gentle cleansers to love from Neutrogena, Eucerin and Astara!

Tired of having sensitive skin that requires you to to use such a mild cleanser that your skin never feels clean? Here are 3 cleansers that will actually clean without the irritation on even the babiest of faces!

Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Foaming Daily Cleanser - 354ml - $10.99 - the paraben, soap and dye-free  formula features a unique polymer that binds surfactants together so they don't penetrate the skin eliminating the potential for irritation and resulting in an super gentle cleansing experience while still thoroughly removing excess oil, dirt and even makeup without stripping and damaging - to leave skin looking clean and healthy.

The formula feels nice, lathers well but doesn't take off heavy duty makeup so if you are using waterproof, be prepared to have to use something additional to get that off. Love the pump dispenser - I wish all cleansing products did this!

Available at food, drug and mass merchandisers across Canada.

Eucerin DermatoCLEAN Mild Cleansing Lotion - 200ml - $10.25 - with a rich, non-drying fragrance and colour-free formula designed for dry and sensitive skin that soothes and softens the skin through moisturization which removes daily impurities without stripping skin of moisture - contains APG complex, Gluco-Glycercol and Hyaluronic Acid.

I like using a rich formula at night to help me get rid of the day's foundation and this one does a wonderful job without ever making me feel like all of my skin's moisture has gone down the drain along with the dirt and makeup!

Available at mass merchandise stores and pharmacies across Canada, including Shoppers Drug Mart, Pharmacie Jean-Coutu, Uniprix and Familiprix.

Astara Skin Care Botanical Cleansing Gele  - 180ml - $38.50 - nourishes skin and gently removes impurities with a fruity formula that de-stresses your skin and helps maintain optimal hydration. Aloe vera and algae extract are combined with lemongrass and lavender to smooth and soften the skin. 

You can even use it to effectively remove eye makeup without uncomfortable stinging or is ideal for shaving because it's infused with healing herbs that prevent razor burn, while the all-natural oils soften and re-hydrate the complexion.

I love a cleansing gel as part of my morning routine and especially love this one's delicious scent - my only complaint would be that it's pretty pricey considering the small size!
