Sherry and Carol, is this the Dove you are using? And do you think it offers good wetness protection?

This question is related to an earlier one about makeup removers. I usually just remove makeup with my regular cleanser - I don't wear a lot of makeup, so I've never felt the need for a separate cleanser. But now I'm in a cleanser rut. I wanted to try a cream cleanser because even though my skin has always been oily, I'm developing some occasional dryness in my mid-50s; I thought the cream would also help with makeup removal. It was hard to find one though! I finally settled on Clean & Clear Sensitive, but after a few of weeks of use, I think it may be the source of my recent eye irritation. Why would you put menthol in a sensitive skin cleanser???
I may go back to Basis cleanser, which I used for years with no problem; I only switched to see if something new would be better. (Although looking at the ingredients of that, I see that it has spearmint extract, and I know my skin has reacted purely to some mint products in the past.) Any other recommendations? One limitation is that I greatly prefer products that come in a tube - I find pumps really annoying (they often fail, and it's always a struggle to get out the remaining product once you are low). Plus I prefer to purchase products that are easily found in the grocery store and aren't too expensive. The Clean & Clear might be relegated to the shower!

Thanks Donna! I will look for it - I might have to give in on the pump issue.
I was just reading about Neutrogena Hydro Boost Exfoliating; that sounds like another option. I've tried to avoid scrub-type exfoliators (b/c of ingredients that aren't good for the environment and b/c they can be too harsh), but this is an AHA. I think my skin must be more sensitive as I get older. I was never brand loyal when yoga and experimented with all kinds of beauty products!!!

Beth, regarding the Dove deodorant, it worked for me for wetness. But it does have a light scent. I switched to Vanicream Antiperspirant, but I do have some perspiration with that one. Although tbh, I read Dove solid and thought it was the Dove bar soap. I lost track of the conversation lol.
I like Oil of Olay Gentle Clean Foaming Face Wash. It takes off my face makeup, but I use something else for eye makeup. I take my eye makeup off with CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser. I use it dry like a cold cream, then rinse it off. If you use it with water, it won’t take off the makeup. But it does sting my eyes a bit. After using the Olay, I go over my face and eyes with a wet microfiber washcloth, to remove any makeup or cleanser. The cleanser comes in a tube or pump, but I’ve only seen the pump in stores. I believe you can order the tube online on the Target website. https://www.target.com/p/olay-cleans...z/-/A-13108840 My daughter likes the Cetaphil Gentle Clear with 2% salicylic acid. It’s supposed to be non-drying. https://www.target.com/p/cetaphil-ge...z/-/A-82215655 I think a lot of you tubers use balms to take off makeup, then use a cleanser. Some use a micellar water first.

Kat and Sherry, maybe doing a balm then cleanser would make sense. I'm always looking for shortcuts though - I like to do things in as few steps as possible!
Sherry I appreciate the additional info; the Oil of Olay might be any option for me. It is mostly the eye makeup/mascara that I have to put extra effort into removing (even though I don't usually wear waterproof mascara). RE the Dove, I actually don't mind scent - I like when my underarms are powder fresh, haha. But I'm using unscented Almay now, just because its the best I've found so far. It's a gel though, which I don't really like because it takes longer to dry.
