Troubleshooting a rough, tight face after washing
If your face feels squeaky or rough immediately after rinsing, shorten your wash time, use cooler water, and try a lower-foam or cream cleanser instead of a strong foaming gel.

Common questions about cleansing milk, cleansing oil and makeup removal
That tight-then-very-shiny pattern often means your cleanser is stripping too much oil at once, so your skin responds by producing more. If your face feels squeaky, dry or uncomfortable straight after washing and then quickly becomes greasy again, try switching to a gentler, pH-balanced cleanser and avoid washing more than twice a day. For oily and combination skin, a mild gel or foam that does not leave you feeling stretched usually works better than a very harsh, high-foam wash. Pairing your cleanser with a lightweight, non-greasy moisturiser and consistent sunscreen can also help your oil production settle over time. [1]
