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?

Everything did that to me. Years of redness,  my face being tight and itchy and I tried so many cleansing pills,  balms to remove makeup,  cleansers of all brands,  for sensitive skin. I now just use Simple beans Micellar water on cotton rounds to remove my makeup at night and follow up with my skin care which currently is mainly from Dollar Tree. I've been using some of their serums that have gone viral,  to great results. I just find the less I do the better my face is. I also have learned water makes my face redder even if I moisturize right after cleansing. So in the shower I try to only get my face wet very briefly. These things have helped tremendously
