Pharmacy face cleansers: the gentlest for sensitive skin
A cleanser that leaves your skin squeaky is not a good cleanser — especially when you're sensitive. The pharmacy rule: skin-friendly pH, no fragrance, gentle surfactants. We listed those that score best on tolerance in reviews.

Frequently asked questions
Sensitive dry skin: foaming gel or milk?
Milk, oil or micellar if you feel tight after gel. Save foaming sulphate cleansers for skin that handles water rinse well.
Micellar at night, gel in the morning — ok?
Yes, classic routine. Rinse gel properly and don't scrub with a sponge on skin that flushes.
How do you rank them?
Tolerance first (redness, tightness afterwards), then texture. Products without reviews yet surface via available scores and catalogue popularity.
