Choosing A Facial Cleanser that's right for your skin type
Start by finding out what type of skin you have. Is it oily, dry, combination skin, sensitive or mature skin? Answering these essential questions at the start can help you find the right face cleanser that will do your skin the most good.
Here's a review of the most common skin types and recommended cleansers that best treat them.
Facial Cleansers for Oily, Shiny Skin
Don't be misled by thinking you need to get rid of all the oils on your skin. There are oils you need to keep for healthy skin. You only need to get rid of the dirt and problem causing oils, not strip your skin, that only causes more problems.
Oily, shiny skin is best cleansed with a foaming face wash. Oily skin really requires a formula that is specifically formulated for oily skin. One popular and effective recommendation is
MD Formulations Facial Cleanser :

Facial Cleansers for Combination skin
Skin which has an oily 'T zone' on the face (the area of skin around the forehead, nose, mouth and chin) often appears to have large, open pores and the cheeks are usually normal to dry. It requires a cleanser that balances your skin and controls "T-zone" oiliness.
An excellent solution is the Pevonia Combination Skin Cleanser, its grapefruit and safflower essential oils combines with other ingredients to ensure skin surfaces are purified and clean.

Facial Cleansers for Mature skin ( Skin which is losing its elasticity)
Some lines may be evident on the surface of mature skin and the skin has a tendency to be dry. It is best to use a cleansing cream or rich cleansing milk which also helps to nourish and provide moisture to the skin.
When washing your face don't use harsh wash cloths. Wash your hands thoroughly, splash your face with water, work your cleanser into a lather and gently rub onto your face with your fingertips, including your hairline and neck. Remove cleanser by splashing neck and face with warm water. Pat, DON'T RUB, dry with towel.
Using a cleanser such as Peter Thomas Roth Anti-Aging Cleansing Gel provides deep pore resurfacing action and increases cell turnover to help diminish the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and other signs of aging. It's ideal for all skin types, including dry, sun damaged, normal, combination, oily and acne prone skin, except sensitive skin.
