I use olay gentle fragrance free for sensitive skin daily, and then every few weeks when i have the time i do an olive oil/castor oil hot towel cleaning.

Oil Cleansing

When I had acne I did the oil cleansing more often and it definitely tamed the oiliness of my skin and kept me well moisturized especially in the winter.

Also, the idea of "men's skin care" is snake oil marketing as far as i'm concerned. You could take "women's skincare products" change the scent and packaging to something "masculine" and make a killing. You're far better off getting products that suit your skin type, whether it's marketed for women or men.

There are quite a few great face cleansers out there! Here a two that I like very much, Multi-Action Face Wash by Lab Series and Algae Face Cleanser by Anthony Logistics.

Keep in mind that is is recommended to exfolliate your skin up to twice a week. So here are two from these same lines - Invigorating Face Scrub (Lab) and Facial Scrub (Anthony).

Enjoy!

I use Cetaphil or Eucerin based on Derma's recommendation. But am curious to know if anyone out there has used a cleanser that can comfirm they experienced diminished pore visbility as a result ?

I use the imitation Cetaphil from Walmart. Why pay more?

Use water, first couple splashes should get rid of the dirt and your natural oils should clean your face. I wash my face with water a couple times a day by rinsing with really hot water, then really cold water, then hot water, then I massage my face by spreading the oils from my forehead and nose around to the rest of my face then I rinse with hot water, then cold, then hot, then cold, then luke warm.

I use a mud mask about once a week and then I use an exfoliate followed by a moisturizer maybe twice a month.

I've found the MenScience wash to be pretty adept at keeping my skin smooth thanks to the BHAs and AHAs in it. I also like the aforementioned Kiehl's and AL Glycolic washes, along with the California North gel wash.

bumping this: need to up my face wash game -- I vaguely recall a few other members talking about good face wash in the recent purchases thread on sw&d but no names were dropped.

looking for recommendations on some face care stuff -- I usually just use water.

I need a face wash that's good in treating rosacea.
