Top Reddit reviews mentioning Facial Cleansing Washes:
if you're trying to maximize bang for buck washing off your actives is probably not the way to go. I'd switch to a gentle cleanser like cerave or an oil cleanser and follow with an exfoliant that I leave on-- maybe Corsrx AHA/BHA?
I don't sleep well and would at least like to look like I do. I once asked my buddy's girlfriend, who is all about skincare, how to reduce the darkness under my eyes and she got all excited and ran back with a bottle of The Ordinary Caffeine Solution to use at night, told me to use Cera Ve cleanser in the morning (I use this one, no idea if it's better or worse than the other ones) and to regularly use moisturizer.
I forget sometimes, so I do feel like my eye bags have cleared up a bit.
It's one of the original holy grail low pH cleansers on r/skincareaddiction and have been using it for a few years now. I just buy it from large asian stores like T&T or Ocean's (Toronto area), but sometimes amazon is cheaper. I stocked up on a few bottles when I was in Japan because it's only like $4 there or something ��
Their hyaluronic liquid is also amazing if you have dry/dehydrated skin! You just pat a small amount over your face before applying moisturizer and your face just sucks up all the moisture.
oil cleansing has become such a life-saver for me!!! i used to use micellar water and then a gentle cetaphil cleanser to cleanse after wearing makeup, but i used to always be paranoid that i wasn't getting everything off
i still use a bit of the cetaphil cleanser after (even though this oil cleanser doesn't leave any residue), but my face really does feel cleaner :) i highly recommend it!
The body wash is (over the counter) Benzoyl peroxide (put a pic up of mine http://imgur.com/a/uNhAfK2 ) and the prescription to treat an active cyst is clindamycin phosphate 1% topical. It's a tube of liquid with a squishy soft pad you squeeze to wet the pad then rub on the cyst. I paid nothing for the script through my insurance.
Oh just thought of this, here's the body wash on Amazon

Cleanser: Hada Labo Foaming Cleanser Gentle, Pump type so super easy. My fav cleanser.
Toner: Hada Labo Gokujyun Hyaluronic Acid Premium Lotion (Gold Bottle, clear liquid)
Moisturizer: Same Gold Bottle, but white liquid. As you know, toners are sometimes called lotion here, so be careful not to double buy.
SPF: Not sure about any moisturizer with SPF, but Japanese sunscreen is pretty great, so you can't really go wrong. Biore, Nivea, Skin Aqua are all great, and don't feel thick and gunky like other sunscreens.
That's my routine, and the same products for both AM/PM. For anti aging, discoloration, etc, you might wanna try essences like Vitamin C, I know Melano CC is great.
I thought I had herpes. Took me two years to talk to my Mom and she laughed at me. I felt gross and embarrassed. Fun times!
Here's my reply to another comment about the meds.
The condition is called hydrotonous superativa.

Heard really great things about the Vanicream Gentle Cleanser. I suffer from pretty sensitive skin on my hands (contact dermatitis and dyshidrotic eczema), and Vanicream's products have been pretty pivotal for healing and moisturizing them. I give the brand a +1
Does your skin feel “tight” after cleansing? I know it says sensitive skin, but that brand of foaming facial cleanser can be pretty stripping. If your skin feels tight/squeaky/itchy after cleansing, then I would definitely also recommend a more gentle cleanser (probably a non-foaming one, though more gentle foaming ones also exist). Cetaphil makes a gentle non foaming cleanser for dry skin that a lot of people use as a starting recommendation. If you REALLY like foam, then this Hada Labo one is one I have used and can personally vouch for. It’s really popular on some of the Asian Beauty skincare subs.
I have oily/combo skin, acne, sensitive/rosacea prone (getting the picture?) and I love using Cerave's hydrating cleanser. It's 8.38 on Amazon (great way to get it if you have prime). I don't like spending lots of money on a cleanser especially since you wash it right off. This cleans my skin, leaves it feeling hydrated (doesn't strip the moisture barrier) without making me more oily. Let me know if you have more questions, I love talking about skin care.
Also you can usually print off a $2 coupon from cerave's website. The cerave cleanser has last me over 3 months and I don't think I'm half way through yet.
I would pick the popular Hada Labo Gokujun cleanser (spelled wrong as Gokujyn on Amazon) instead, as it has a cleaner ingredients list and slightly lower pH than the Tokyo cleanser. Plus it comes in an awesome foaming pump bottle. If you want to, you could also opt for the Hada Labo premium version instead of regular Gokujun lotion, as it has 5 types of hyaluronic acid is much thicker and more moisturizing, but that is up to you
I was interested in the HL face wash, but $14 (used, incl shipping) is a lot considering it's $9.98 (new, incl shipping) on amazon. Even if someone is in NYC, amazon is still cheaper.
have you tried ROHTO Hadalabo Gokujun Cleansing Oil ? its japanese brand and you can get it on amazon or yesstyle or stylevana(if you dont mind slower shipping)
Benzoyl peroxide 10% on Amazon just don’t put this in your private parts!
How benzoyl peroxide stops/fights acne: https://www.healthline.com/health/benzoyl-peroxide-for-acne
The product: PanOxyl Acne Foaming Wash Benzoyl Peroxide 10% Maximum Strength Antimicrobial, 5.5 Ounce https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081KL2QYJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_T7RTTAZZHMPQJPQJVCDQ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Stop using the Vichy product. It contains salicylic acid, which can cause irritation on sensitive skin. Switch over to CeraVe Facial Cleanser. Cleanse and moisturize twice a day. At night you can put a thin layer of Vaseline or Aquaphor on your face and neck. If you’re still not any better or getting worse, make a derm appointment.

I recommend the Stirling starter set. I suggest one of the three soaps be unscented and the brush be synthetic
I also recommend vanicream Face wash Washing your face before shaving and after shaving can help cut down irritation for people like me with medical skin conditions.
Jolse is generally my goto for getting hold of Korean skincare, they have free shipping if you don't mind a slightly longer wait (though I've found things arrive in about 2 weeks) http://jolse.com/product/cosrx-low-ph-good-morning-gel-cleanser-150ml/6250/?cate_no=371&display_group=1
I also like the hado-labo foaming facial cleanser which is Japanese, but can easily be brought from amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hada-Labo-Gokujyn-Hyaluronic-Cleansing/dp/B01CE5P580/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1512656452&sr=8-1&keywords=hada+labo+rohto+gokujyn+hyaluronic+acid+cleansing+foam
For a lot of people the “fast” type of Japanese makeup removing oil is drying. I use a not as fast one from DHC which is a good bit more expensive ($28 on amazon right now) but it’s almost just as fast at removing makeup, can give you a really deep clean of your pores if you massage your face for a few min with it, and it’s not drying.

The Simple brand face washes are pretty good. There’s a foaming one, gel, and a hydrating one. It’s not too expensive and you can find them in drugstores. I used the gel for a long time and it was great!
Now I use the Hada Labo Gokujyn Hyaluronic Acid Cleansing Foam and I get it on amazon. It’s nice, gentle, and takes away my oil without me feeling stripped. It’s $10 and one bottle seems small but it lasts me around two months.
For body acne I've found that Panoxyl Acne Wash works great! I've heard it can cause some dryness though, but I've never experienced that myself! If you do use it watch out for getting it on fabrics and stuff, it can bleach them. Hope that helps!
I have oily skin and this product is amazing. It turns out just using face wash will cause your face to oil up faster since you're stripping it of all its oils.
I use this wash before I get in the shower, then CeraVe in the shower, then use face lotion when I get out.
Yeah man, it works really well but will also dry your skin out so use lotion too. I also got an Rx from a derm for a topical cream too (retin-A) that helps a lot too if I ever get anything on my face. I use this: https://www.amazon.com/PanOxyl-Foaming-Peroxide-Strength-Antimicrobial/dp/B081KL2QYJ
If you get it from DHC directly, it's legitimate. Just don't buy it from a 3rd party if you're not sure. OP's post on Amazon prices is the legit seller.
Assuming that he'll want something fairly inexpensive, and not too complicated, I'd recommend the Hada Labo Foaming Cleanser. It's a good pH for skin, doesn't smell like much, and pretty easy to find (I've linked you to an Amazon listing, but you can find it on ebay, and, depending on where you live, in Japan/Koreantown stores, 99 Ranch, etc.).
For the irritation, I'd recommend something with snail, the COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Power Essence is inexpensive, unscented, etc.
Let me know if you'd like another recommendations! Hope this helps. :) Edit: also it just occurred to me that I assumed you live in the United States, and if not, these might be harder (or easier) to find.
are you in the US? you can get the cleanser at ohlolly.com. I bought mine from amazon though from this seller though https://www.amazon.com/Cosrx-Good-Morning-Cleanser-Ounce/dp/B016NRXO06/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1513197873&sr=8-1&keywords=cos%2Brx%2Bph%2Bbalance%2Bcleanser&th=1&psc=1
I get mine through Amazon, but it depends where you are.
I use a cleansing oil from Amazon that was recommended on r/skincareaddiction
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004OQHZ2M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_11ljBbEDTJ4HJ
I used to use coconut oil as well but I felt like it never 100% washed off. I like to use an oil because my skin become dry if I use something that lathers too frequently. This oil removes ALL my makeup and emulsifies when you add water to it so it really rinses clean.
On a side note for any New Yorkers and those visiting New York City...
I just heard about Teso Life from a post yesterday on this subreddit, and I checked it out today. It’s like a mini Mitsuwa marketplace!! Has all things Japanese — skincare, foods, etc.
Price wise, at least for Hada Labo products, there is a $1~$2 markup. I think this is fair considering NYC rent, and how shipping from Japan takes forever and usually costs money.
For example, Amazon Cleansing Foam Price , is $10. And it’s $11.99 in store.
Yeah... those are my two cents for anyone curious.
If you’re open to using Asian skincare products, they have tons of gentle/low ph ones! I use the Hada Labo Foaming Cleanser which I buy off Amazon UK https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01CE5P580/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_LnKgDbPRZGDBE you can also head over to r/AsianBeauty and search for low ph cleansers if you’re interested!
