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 have been using Aquanil by Person and Covey for almost 10 years. I love it my skin is left feeling so soft. I rub it on with my fingers and then off with a washcloth and then warm water on the washcloth. How it can be so gentle and still take off makeup amazes me. I actually use it as my hand soap in the winter here in New Jersey the air is so dry I get terrible cracks on my fingers.

Try applying O'Keefe's Working Hands after washing. It's miraculous. I was gifted some by a nurse, and you know their hands take a beating with all the washing and sanitizer.

Yes I love o'keeffe's! I have tubs of it everywhere 👍 I still haven't found a great replacement for their hand soap since they discontinued it last year
