Did you know that many dermatologists and other skin care specialists highly recommend most people use a lathering gel or creamy cleanser over a bar soap, such as a solid opaque soap or even a clear bar like Neutrogena’s infamous clear amber bar.
Mind you, the clear bars are better than the opaque (not see through) bars for cleansing the face, but it’s still preferable in most cases to use a lathering cleanser.
Examples of lathering cleansers are Clean and Clear creamy cleansers, Neutrogena liquid cleansing amber soap, Clearasil Foaming cleansers, Oil of Olay foaming cleansers, and other brands of good skin care like L’Oreal, Clinique, Estee Lauder and higher caliber beauty brands who carry lathering facial cleansers that are in a tube or a container, rather than in bar form.
