    • What is double cleansing?

    Double Cleansing is a two-step method that involves washing the face with two different types of cleansers to deeply cleanse your skin while maintaining a healthy skin barrier, which is ultimately the secret to healthy skin.

    How does double cleansing work?

    Two cleansers are generally used - first an oil or cream cleanser to remove makeup, oil and other buildup that builds up on skin throughout the day, and then a gel cleanser to deeply cleanse and cleanse skin to remove any residue that could clog the skin.

    Is Double Cleansing For Everyone?

    Double Cleansing is suitable for most skin types and skin conditions, especially oily or acne-prone skin types. Dryer or more sensitive skin types may want to take a different approach to double cleansing, as this method can over-cleanse the skin, leading to more sensitivity and dryness. But that doesn't mean you have to be disfellowshipped! Here we've broken down our favorite double cleansing power duos for every skin type and skin concern.

    Oily, acne-prone skin

    Oily skin tends to have more deposits and therefore tolerates a double cleansing best. Our favorite double cleansing duo for this skin type is the IMAGE Skincare Vital C Hydrating Facial Cleanser, followed by the IMAGE Clear Cell Salicylic Gel Cleanser. Vital C Hydrating Facial Cleanser soothes and moisturizes acne-prone skin with vitamins A, C and E, while Clear Cell Salicylic Gel Cleanser fights oil and pimples, leaving you looking fresh and clear.
