Facial cleansing is the most important step in any skincare routine. However, not every cleansing product is suitable for every skin type - on the contrary. The wrong cleansing can quickly throw the skin out of balance and exacerbate problems such as dryness, irritation, or excessive sebum production. We'll tell you what to look for when choosing your cleanser and introduce the best products for different skin types.
Key Takeaways
- Proper facial cleansing is crucial for healthy, radiant skin
- Each skin type has different cleansing needs
- Gentle cleansers without harsh surfactants are suitable for all skin types
- Always complement facial cleansing with a suitable toner and the right care
Dry and Sensitive Skin: Gentle Cleansing Without Drying
Dry and sensitive skin needs particularly gentle, nourishing cleansing that doesn't attack the skin barrier. Creamy, soap-free cleansers without alcohol, sulfates, and fragrances are best suited.
Our favorites for dry and sensitive skin:
- The Super Aqua Cell Renew Snail Cleansing Foam with moisturizing snail mucin extract gently cleanses and nourishes the skin, leaving it silky-soft.
- The BIOAQUA Refresh & Moisture Aloe Vera Gel is a soothing cleansing gel with 92% Aloe Vera for intense moisture and relief from redness and irritation.
- The mild ElishaCoy Skin Refreshing Snail Cleanser gently removes makeup and impurities, moisturizes the skin, and soothes thanks to snail mucin extract.
Complement the cleansing with an alcohol-free toner like the BIOAQUA Pure Pearl Sleeping Face Mask for extra moisture, and follow with a rich cream or facial oil to nourish the skin and strengthen the protective barrier.
Normal and Combination Skin: Balancing Cleansing for an Even Complexion
Normal and combination skin need balancing cleansing that neither degreases too much nor provides too much moisture. Light foam cleansers or gels with mild surfactants are just right here.
We recommend:
- The Facial Cleansing Foam deeply cleanses pores of dirt, excess sebum, and makeup residues without drying out the skin.
- The Facial Cleansing Gel gently and thoroughly cleanses the skin, regulates sebum production, and refines the complexion.
- The Bioaqua Osmanthus Mask is a refreshing cleansing gel with osmanthus flower extract for a clear, matte complexion.
After cleansing, a toner like the Hyaluronic Acid Serum helps balance the skin's pH and provide extra moisture. Then apply a light, moisturizing care product.

Oily and Acne-Prone Skin: Deep Pore Cleansing, But Gentle
Oily and acne-prone skin needs thorough cleansing that removes excess sebum and dirt without irritating or drying out the skin. Cleansers with antibacterial ingredients like salicylic acid or tea tree oil are in demand here.
These products can help:
- The Breylee Acne Treatment Serum with salicylic acid, niacinamide, and zinc cleanses clogged pores, regulates sebum production, and counteracts inflammation.
- The Salicylic Acid Exquisite Cream with BHA frees pores from excess sebum and dirt, refines the complexion, and prevents impurities.
- The Facial Cleanser Set combines a cleansing foam and a cleansing brush for deep pore cleansing without drying.
After cleansing, use a toner with BHA like the BIOAQUA Pure Pearl Sleeping Face Mask to refine pores and inhibit inflammation. Then apply a light, non-comedogenic moisturizer.
