Async: Skin Care Products
1. what are the different types of skin care products and their uses, formulation, and safety
standards?
o Cleanser
Most dermatologists agree it is important to cleanse the face twice daily to get bacteria, dirt, and
pollutants off your skin. However, there are different types of cleansers that are more ideal for certain
types of skin.
 Different types of cleanser
1. Gel Cleansers
Gel cleansers are clear and, as the name suggests, have a gel-like consistency. Generally designed for
deep cleansing, they are effective at decongesting clogged pores, removing excess oil and killing acne-
causing bacteria, thanks to their antiseptic and exfoliating properties.
Ideal for: Oily and combination skin
2. Cream Cleansers
Cream cleansers are usually thick, creamy and contain moisturizing ingredients like botanical oils. They
gently cleanse your skin without stripping it of its natural oils. Cream cleansers can also come in the
form of “milk” or “lotion.”
Ideal for: Dry and sensitive skin

Foam cleansers are lightweight cleansers that start out as cream or gel and burst into a rich, foamy

Ideal for: Oily and combination skin
4. Oil Cleansers

from your pores.
Ideal for: Oily and combination skin
6. Micellar Cleansers

them off with water.
Ideal for: Dry and sensitive skin
