Question

Non foaming and Foaming cleanser? i use Dove non foaming cleanser for senstive skin and i saw ones that were foaming and i just wanted to know if there the same or diffrent. and how does it effect your skin

thanks :)

Answer 1

if u wear makeup foam always removes makeup better...i think it gives u a cleaner feeling.

Answer 2

There isn't a difference. The same solutions and ingredients go into both. The foaming one is no better than the non-foaming one. The foaming one is just there to prove it's working... kind of like a mouthwash that stings compared to one that doesn't. They both work, but one just shows it's working.

Answer 3

Foaming usually has some sort of soap in it that if you have sensitive or dry skin can be irritated but  it does effect it much! Soap makes the foam without it, its a non-foaming cleanser

Answer 4

Usually foaming facial cleansers contain an ingredient called Sodium Laureth Sulfate.  This can upset the pH balance of the skin and cause irritation.  

Non Foaming cleansers do not have this ingredient and are marketed for people with sensitive skin.  It is better to use these kinds of cleansers on your face as the skin is more delicate there.

Hope this helps!

Answer 5

Well on foam and one does not.  Use a foam cleanser you will rinse off with water, and I like to use because if gives me more of a squeaky clean feel.  Non foam, generally tend to be more milky and they can be rinsed off or tissued off.  It is more of a preference thing.
