Almost more importantly than the wash you're using, is the moisturizer.
The better it smells, the more chemicals. Things like menthol and other 'cooling sensation' ingredients are really bad for your skin.
I use Aveeno since it's all natural and good for sensitive skin. Make sure your aftershave and shaving creme are ok for sensitive skin as well!

Totally outrageously expensive, but there is nothing better than the Creme De La Mer facewash -- you actually use so little that it might work out to be not so overpriced, but I could be making that up.

The ingredients are exactly the same and it felt the same when I used it. I think the bottle was smaller though so be sure to compare the size.

If you check the ingredients list, Spectro has way less harsh ingredients than Cetaphil and used to advertise this fact on the bottle. For instance Spectro has no sodium lauryl sulphate while Cetaphaphil does. SLS is a harsh detergent that gives a product the "nice" lather that people associate with the product working. http://www.health-report.co.uk/sodiu..._sulphate.html http://www.spectroskincare.com/facial_cleansing_02.aspx
I'd go by Science rather than anecdotal experience any day.

+1 for Spectro Gel
Spectro has different formulas for different skin types, it is PH balanced, lanolin, parabens, and fragrance free. The problem with most cleansers these days is that it works too well, in a sense where it breaks the skin`s natural defence barrier, and strip it of its natural moisture.

I mean not to go against science, but you can't deny your skin's own reaction to a product.

Talk about being out of touch!

I personally like using Montee Sensitive Milk Cleanser and/or O'Derme Gel Cleanser. The milk cleanser is probably the best face wash I've used to date. Both are a bit pricier than your average face wash though. You're looking at $60-100 depending on where you get it.
