Waterless Skin Cleansers

[Libby]

Just wondered how many of us villagers use this type of facial cleanser? I've noticed over the past few years my skin has changed and I'm more prone to the elements and environment. Have any of you tried these waterless skin cleansers? If so...which ones have you tried and how did you find that they worked? Did some feel that they didn't even clean your face, did some strip your face of all moisture?

The only two major brands I can think of are Cetaphil and Spectro

For those that don't fully understand this concept, its a skin cleanser gel you massage onto your face then wipe off with a cloth or tissue, no need to splash water on your face before and after. Trust me, this concept took me eons to comprehend!

My mom used to do that very thing with Ponds Cold Cream. I may have to pick some up and give it a try.

Yep - mine too. And that is one that they even still make! Most of the other stuff has 'fallen by the wayside'.........

Let us know Libby if you find something that works.

I need a REALLY good moisturizer. My cheeks are feeling rough!

I've used Cetaphil and am currently using Purpose. But I've always use a little water to get a lather.

I have sensitive skin and the Purpose doesn't dry me out.

I use a creamy moisturizer (L'Oreal) because I am sooo dry.

I remember my mom having Ponds, too.

I get a big thing of cold cream at the beauty supply store -- cost was a fraction of what they get for Pond's and it works just as well.

Do these make your skin feel less clean? I was wondering how these products fare in the warmer & more humid climates? I liked the waterless cleanser for the winter b/c it was gentle and effective but I find its not as clean feeling as spring approaches.
