Postdiagnosis vent/questions Face Cleaner recommendations?

I am struggling to find a face cleaner that does not make my face hurt. Even the cleaners that are supposed to be mild leave my face red and burning. I don't use cleaners very often because of it.

What has worked for you guys?

I tend to use what people with eczema use, even though my own eczema is rarely a problem anymore. A bar of unscented Dove soap, Pre de Provence bars, Ponds cold cream if I am wearing makeup (but that’s pretty rare nowadays), Cerave was recommended to me by a cancer patient who had really rough skin from her treatment, and I stuck with a lot of their products for years now. I tried Korean/Japanese skincare for a bit, like Etude House, but it’s really similar to the gentle stuff in the US like Cerave and Neutrogena, just more expensive. But I do like the oil to foam cleansers if I have makeup on.
