Cleansers are products containing soaping or cleansing agents to remove dirt and debris from the skin. A good skin cleanser not only removes makeup and dirt but also helps to unclog pores and remove dead skin cells. Here are some benefits of using a cleanser:
Positive:

- Can help to brighten the complexion.
- Can help to keep the skin hydrated.

Negative:
- Some cleansers contain harsh ingredients such as sulfates, artificial fragrances, and parabens, which can damage the skin over time.
Ingredients or materials:
- A gentle cleanser designed for sensitive skin or that has "gentle" in the name.
- A hydrating ingredient like glycerin or hyaluronic acid.
- Natural or organic ingredients.
- Surfactants, which are soaping agents that make the cleanser cleanse.
- Active ingredients, such as probiotics, that have antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties.
