Double Cleansing: Everything You Need To Know

[@Hopeful-w7h]

I can’t imagine not double cleansing- it really gets my skin clean! For myself- it’s hada Labo cleansing oil and hydrating cerave cleanser.

[@DrDrayzday]

it really makes a difference

[@NancyH25]

I do this as well, but I’ve noticed I’m getting some closed comedones & black heads on my cheeks. Idk if it’s caused from the cleansing oil or not, but I read several Amazon reviews saying they experienced the same problem. Thoughts, Dr. Dray? I appreciate your feedback.

[@donnabednarczyk786]

I use exactly the same ! Great for very sensitive skin, I will never return to foaming cleansers.

[@bichinbeanie]

DHC is a HOLY GRAIL! I discovered the cleansing oil in 2015. And never looked back! All hail the DOUBLE CLEANSE🙌

[@Siberius-]

Dr Dray mixed up which product was thicker between the Kose Speedy and the Hada Labo at 11:23. She said the Hada Labo is thicker, but in an older video of hers (at 13:15), she says that the Kose one is thicker and in that video she puts them both on her hands and shows it. The video is called: Vlog: COMPARING CLEANSING OILS ✨ POOL CHAT👙 CAR WASH 🚙 Now, thicker cleansing oils I thinkkkk work better for sebaceous filaments. The Kose Speedy (pink) rinse off the skin very easily, but the Kose DEEP, is much thicker, and it will rinse off the skin particularly if you have a shower helping out, but it's harder to remove. Double cleansing will easily get it off though. The deep version is great for my sebaceous filaments. Really awesome stuff. Just gotta massage it (from the start) for about 3 minutes (with dry skin) to really let it do it's thing. Takes time.

[@pamcanfield255]

I do a double cleanse every night using Pond's Cold Cream. It's inexpensive & effective. I follow it up with a gentle cleanser like Cetaphil.

I triple cleanse my skin, I feel like my acne has improved after I started doing it. Twice wasn’t enough to get my makeup off and I was getting so many clogged pores. Now it’s so much clearer.

[@inainoslo]

@@Roll587 I just do first step oil or balm cleanser and the second and third one is with my regular water based cleanser. A few days a week my third cleanse is with a powder cleanser, a few that I like is the by wishtrend green tea powder cleanser, petitfee beta glucan wash and the dermalogica daily microfoliant

[@inainoslo]

@@Novemberrain111 it’s only harsh if you have very sensitive skin. It’s just a second wash essentially because the first gets the makeup off so actually it’s not even a cleanse. It just melts the makeup off so no harsh rubbing there.

[@NatalieG427]

If you used Purity Made Simple Cleanser by Philosophy, you wouldn’t need to use an oil cleanser at all. That cleanser removes waterproof makeup, even mascara. You only need about a dime size of it. It foams up & cleans really well. No double cleanse needed. It also comes in smaller bottles for people to try.

[@KimA206]

⁠@@NatalieG427I use Purity and have almost for 20 years. I am a product junky but I have never used anything else but Purity. I know it’s not for everyone but I love it. It does take all the make up off. I will still sometimes double cleanse with it. Depending on how heavy my makeup is. First to take off the makeup and second to cleanse. I do not have dry skin, especially since using Gold Bond Nighttime Retinol after cleansing. So far it’s worked for this nearly 60 year old skin.

Ever since I discovered oil cleansing, it had completely changed my skin. I have oily acne prone skin and used to think oil cleansing would just make my oiliness worse but I was wrong, if anything I’m less oily now and don’t break out as often. My favorite has always been the Sioris cleansing oil but a recent favorite has been the Softymo one too

[@aabish108]

Oil cleanser/ cleansing balm/ micellar water which one is gud for double cleansing for oily acne prone skin?

[@Tammyiing]

@@aabish108 Personally I prefer cleansing oils. I find that most micellar waters either leave a film on my skin afterwards or require a lot of friction and that just irritates my skin. And for me, cleansing balms require a little more work to melt and can get very messy if you don’t scoop out enough. In my opinion, the best cleansing oils are the ones that are very watery, almost to the point where it doesn’t look like an oil, because it’ll spread and wash off easier. I find that a light massage around the nose and cheek area is enough to unclog sebaceous filaments and that helps prevent whiteheads and blind pimples

[@alya27092]

I am using micellar water followed by cleanser (both very gentle and fragrance free) and my face is super clean after. I wear make up almost every day and my sunscreen is not water resistant. My skin is sensitive, prone to break out very fast if there are oils (most of them), essential oils, any ingredient that contains in the name: olivate, oleate, mystrate, isostearate and other few. I discovered this after about an year of trial and error in order to build a skincare routine. Was even harder to find a sunscreen suitable for my “special” skin. So is good that the rest of the world can use a cleansing oil/balm and I’m happy that some brands sell micellar water and it’s all for me. 😁 Every time I hear or read “room temperature” I’m wondering what this means. I saw reviews about beauty fridges and people said that is not necessary because you can keep all skincare and/or some medicine at room temperature. I live in Australia in a two storey house where summer can be very hot (48 degrees celsius) and even indoor temperature is quite high. I have AC but I also have a job and I use AC in the evening when I come back from work and in weekends I go out. So during the summer and even spring (now is spring here and we had few days with 38 degrees celsius) most of the time “room temperature” is over 30 degrees celsius upstairs. But I’m sure if you live in Siberia room temperature should be fine and you don’t need a beauty fridge. 🙂

I wash my face at night in the shower so I never worry about getting the oil all over my bathroom floor 😊

I’ve been using DHC Cleansing Oil for over 20 years and it’s been my ride or die. I started using it when my skin was still oily and it never caused me any problems. Now my skin is normal/dry/sensitive due to aging and I still love it. When I was in my teens, my skin was so grossly oily that 5 minutes after washing my face with the harshest of cleansers, the greasy slick was already showing. I stripped the crap out of my skin with Sea Breeze, Ten O Six, and sometimes straight alcohol. I wanted the oil GONE, but it never relented. But now, at almost 70, I’m grateful for it. I have minimal wrinkles. Living outside Houston with the high humidity (hate it) also helps. But now, aging sensitive skin causes some problems. Cetaphil and Cerave hydrating cleansers are too harsh and cause stinging and dryness. Instead of throwing them out, I use them to wash my hands. It could be the Niacinamide since I can’t wear my used to be ride or die eltaMD UV Clear anymore either. It causes a red hot rash. The only makeup I use, only when I have to, is the IT Bye Bye Moisturizer. I may have to try the last balm you mentioned and the Hadalabo oil. I never liked the Farmacy balm since it never removed all of my makeup like the DHC did, and it left such a greasy film behind that I would have to double cleanse. Unfortunately, the double cleansing was too hard on my skin.

Hi Dr. Dray, if you're able to answer-- is double cleansing still beneficial if you don't wear makeup? Or is it toomuch? Thanks for your informative videos!

Over the holidays I got a stocking stuffer sized Versa cleansing balm (pink jar) at Target. I’m working my way through several different oil and balm cleansers and that one is standing out so far. Very silky. Hadolabo and DHC are in the queue as well!

Fantastic video. I’m a big fan of DHC oil and I’m just starting to explore cleansing balms. Thank you!

[@chriscaffey5685]

I like to come home from work, put my E.l.f. cleansing balm on, and just let it sit for a while while I do dishes or whatever. Then I rinse it off/do 2nd cleanse and start my skincare. I just love the way it feels, and it has nice ingredients. I don't know if I am helping or hurting anything by doing that since the sunscreen and makeup are also still on my face while the balm sits.

[@kelceynicole]

i just purchased the peach & lily ginger melt oil cleanser and the mini DHC cleansing oil today at Ulta. I’m excited to see how they work for me. I have the Good Molecules cleansing balm and I actually really love it (I’m almost out of it). I just want to switch it up to see how I like a cleansing oil vs balm.

[@morgianasartre6709]

Many cleansing balms leave a heavy residue and no "mild" cleanser will get rid of it. So not surprised it could break people out.

[@eobrien1]

The right cleansing balm is definitely the key! The only ones I’ve ever found that rinse totally clean, super easily are the Neutrogena makeup remover melting balm (blue container) & the Hado Labo cleansing oil

[@juliabinford6500]

I love a double cleanse! Hada labo cleansing oil followed by Prequel glycerin based cleanser. The prequel is new, I was using vanicream cleanser to avoid burning 🥵

[@leejeanne487]

Deep cleansing oil for me and also trying the new Prequel glycerin cleanser. I was skeptical at first w the cleanser if it would really clean my skin and it did and it feels hydrated and soft compared to my usual LRP foaming cleanser

[@RazorbackNation75]

I stopped double cleansing. I have hyper, overreactive, dry, rosacea skin. (Type 1). I only wear sunscreen. I find the rubbing and tugging twice to be too much. I do think a very gentle cleanser is the way to go for me personally. Aveeno oat gel calm and restore cleanser is s good one. I recently bought LRP Toleriane Dermo cleanser and so far so good. It glides over the skin very easily and leaves a VERY lightweight film behind that does go away but my skin is still left moisturized. The film left behind is not sticky or tacky. I wish I tried this sooner. Avene extremely gentle cleanser is another good one.

[@norniea]

I also use oy a tinted sunscreen daily and also have dry skin and Roscea, PMLE & POD. I found the Neutrogena Sesame oil works great. Then I use CeraVe hydrating cleansing cream. I apply both very gently then use a soft washcloth very gently to ensure I get everything off. My skin hasn't gotten angry since I've done this. ❤

[@RazorbackNation75]

@@norniea I'm glad it's working for you. I can't use a cloth on my face. It hurts.

[@RazorbackNation75]

@21972012145525 Ughhh. I had to go back to double cleansing. I use mineral oil first but I use it for a moisture barrier before the second cleanse. The LRP dermo cleanser isn't enough unfortunately. Albolene "tugs" too much. Rosacea is so tricky and VERY picky with skin products. The struggle is real. I don't like using 2 cleansers honestly.

[@reginasemenenko148]

I've been double cleansing since 2010 starting with organic coconut oil or castor oil. I have very dry skin, so I like that my face still has some shine after using a mild cleanser.

[@shreyaguha5]

Do you clean the cleansing balm with a wet towel or do you just rinse it off?

[@reginasemenenko148]

@@shreyaguha5 At night I just leave it on my face (just wiping excess off so it doesn't mess up bedding). In the morning I usre a gentle cleanser and after that I apply a mixture of grapeseed oil and coconut oil and wait about 30 minutes before applying sunscreen and light makeup.

[@lifeofash425]

Me and my skin love Japanese and Korean cleansing oils as long as they are lightweight. They never leave my skin dry or stripped, I even use them in the morning - currently the Shiseido Aqualabel Deep Clear Cleansing Oil, but I also love the one from Cow Brand (stupid name, great cleansing oil) and the Muji Mild Cleansing Oil. It's just such an easy, gentle, but yet very effective way of getting all the gunk off your face.

I have DHC & HL but I really enjoy using plain old evoo by Kirkland 😂. If it were to emulsify, it would be Perfect!!

[@iidasyv]

I’ve tried a few cleansing balms and oils, including BoJ cleansing balm. Unfortunately, they all sting my eyes and are kind of too harsh. I’ve found that what works best for my sensitive skin is using a cleansing lotion or milk first, like avene extremely gentle cleanser or cow brand non additive cleansing milk, and then a gentle cleansing cream or gel, like cerave hydrating cleanser or Bioderma sensibio cleansing gel.

[@NatalieG427]

I find my go to 1 step cleanser, is the Purity Made Simple Cleanser by Philosophy. It’s a gentle gel cleanser that you need about a dime size of & it removes waterproof mascara and makeup without stinging your eyes, iF anything were stinging your eyes it might be the melted makeup & not the cleanser itself. But I’ve been using this for over 25 years now & it’s the best cleanser to clean the pores. I sometimes use it with my Clarisonic Brush. 😉

Softymo Speedy Cleansing pink one burns my eyes I prefer the yellow called Deep because it doesn't burn my eyes. As for DHC, my skin can't tolerate it possibly due to the olive oil which may not be esterified (I can't read the ingredients in Japanese). My skin itches and I get folliculitis afterwards.
