Men, Here

Depending on what you’re looking for in a face wash, here are some things to think about when shopping for one:

✔️ Your skin type: “Consider your skin type (oily, dry, acne-prone, etc.),” says Dr. Glodny. “Certain ingredients will target specific needs.” Bottles of face wash will often say what skin type the formula is best for, so take a peek at the label while perusing your options.

✔️ Ingredients: “Retinol, glycerin, salicylic acid, vitamin C and ceramides are all great ingredients to look for in a face wash,” Dr. Glodny says. If you’re using a face wash with retinol or salicylic acid, make sure to apply sunscreen as well, as these actives can make you more prone to sunburn.

✔️ Fragrance: If you have sensitive skin (or you don’t like scented face washes), confirm if the face wash you’re picking is fragrance-free or not, recommends GH Beauty Lab Reviews Analyst Chiara Butler.
