ABSTRACT

Nowadays, cleansing is the first step in skincare and plays a crucial part in keeping the skin healthy and hydrated, removing dirt (including pollutants in the air, sweat, dust, and sebum), unwanted materials, and excess oil. However, choosing the wrong facial cleanser can do more harm than good. Various facial cleansers are appropriate for various skin types, but there are too many facial cleansers available in the market that makes it difficult for customers to select the most fitting facial cleanser. Therefore, a comparison of facial cleansers is necessary and valuable. Many commercial facial cleansers are soap-based and amino acid-based, so this paper will explore the differences between the two. Different aspects of facial cleansers will be examined and compared in this paper, including their cleansing ability, foaming power, mildness, and pH.
