When my pH strips arrived in the mail, I spent the rest of the day testing EVERY product in the house. I was surprised to find that Mineral Fusion Anti-dandruff shampoo had an acidic pH. This is the shampoo my husband uses everyday…for something like the past 3 years. I buy it because it isn’t tested on animals.
In our pursuit of the best bar soap that you can use on the face and body, we’ve ended up with Vanicream Cleansing Bar. It is marketed as being for sensitive skin and being free of dyes, lanolin, fragrance, parabens and is non-comedogenic. This seems to be highly recommended by dermatologists and has received pretty good reviews from most of the folks over at MUA for use as a facial cleanser.
We tried Sebamed Clear Face Cleansing Bar as part of our experiment looking for a bar soap to use on the face and in the shower. We again tried Sebamed because we knew the pH would be right.
CeraVe foaming cleanser is a very popular cleanser with bloggers and dermatologists alike. I love that this cleanser has a slightly lower pH level than the cleansers I typically use as well.
Free & Clear cleanser is designed for sensitive skin and is free of dyes, fragrance, parabens, etc. It is also sulfate-free and can also be used as a body wash or hand soap. I use it as both a body wash and a facial cleanser.
