Thread Starter 
I have sensitive skin and am in need of a facial cleanser that is both gentle and effective. The fewer chemicals and fragrances the better. all-natural or organic is preferable but not neccesary. any recommendations?

Jack Black makes a great range of products. They're available at Sephora.

I'm very fond of PEARS soap. Available in bars, or liquid. Scented with thyme. Clear, long lasting. I prefer PEARS to Neutrogena.

cetaphil or its store-brand generic equivalent. i do believe that is the standard for "gentle facial cleanser"

Cetaphil is ok but it has a problem with drying skin out Personally I use "Gatsby - Mineral Aqua Foaming Facial Whip" it works great, doesnt dry my skin and I dont have to work up a foam or anything with it.

yes i'm sure there is better than cetaphil, but it's cheap, esp. in store-brand clone, and it's a good place to start.

I also have sensitive skin and in the past I would sometimes get small breakouts. I started using PCA Skin cleaser for oily/problem skin. I use their toner also at night and I use their men's lotion with spf 25. I have tried lots of other brands but this stuff has worked really well for me. I usually find it at skinstore and even though it is pricey, they always have coupon codes.

I've been using Rachael Perry's Tangerine Dream for awhile now. Good cleansing ability without any harsh additives. I mix it with corn meal for a scrub.

I used to use Sisley's Cleansing Milk with Sage which while costly was nice for sensitive skin.

Biotherm Homme Hydra Detox cleanser will take care of your sensitive skin and improve your tone at the same time. I personally use their T-pur range, but I've seen this product work really well for sensitive skin people.

Thirded. Cetaphil is first thing that popped into my mind, extremely gentle.
