And in terms of the ingredients to look for in a face wash according to skin type, Robyn Gmyrek, MD, a board-certified dermatologist at Park View Laser Dermatology gave some suggestions:

Normal: You can usually tolerate most ingredients, including acids, clays, and oils.

Dry: jojoba oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, glycerin, and hyaluronic acid

Oily: salicylic acid and clay

Acne-prone: alpha or beta hydroxy acids like glycolic acid and salicylic acid

Sensitive skin: Look for cleansers that are alcohol-free and SLS-free. The less foaming, the better.
