Gel cleansers are lightweight facial cleansers that have a gel-like consistency. They are designed to remove dirt, oil, and makeup from the skin without stripping it of its natural moisture. Gel cleansers are often water-based and can be suitable for various skin types, especially oily skin and acne-prone skin, as they help control excess oil and prevent breakouts. These cleansers typically lather when mixed with water, providing a refreshing feel during use. Many gel cleansers contain beneficial ingredients like aloe vera or salicylic acid to soothe the skin and enhance cleansing. They are usually applied to damp skin and rinsed off for a clean, revitalized complexion.
