cleansing systems
Sephora customers often prefer the following products when searching for cleansing systems.
The best facial cleansers are the ones that clean your face without drying it out. They're also the ones that don't contain harsh detergents or oil-soluble ingredients that can strip your skin of its natural oils. And they're the ones that won't make you break out. Here are some of our favorite facial cleansing systems on the market.

This is a good product if you have sensitive skin. i use it along with the clinique foaming cleanser because this cleanser is so light that it doesnt leave my skin feeling completely clean. i like the combo of both. i use it everyday with the 3 step system and it has been clearing up my skin. my skin is not perfectly clear, but much much better than it was. it doesnt irritate my skin which is awesome because other systems such a murad would leave my skin feeling almost burnt and itchy, it was horrible. i had been using this for awhile and tried to switch to the philosophy on a clear day system and i broke out horribly so i returned to the clinique system again and my face calmed down again. i will not go back. clinique is the way to go if you have sensitive yet acne prone skin. if you have bad acne, i would recommend using the spot treatments as well because they arevery good...I have tried everything (you name it) for my moderate but constant acne. This 3 step system is the only thing I've found that works after years of looking and tons of $ thrown away on facials, chemical peels, and tons of Acne systems. ...Clinique acne solutions cleansing Foam
