I used to swear by expensive face wash until my dermatologist told me something that changed my mind

For years I spent around $40 a bottle on fancy cleansers with all those active ingredients. Then last month at my checkup in Chicago, my dermatologist said my skin barrier was wrecked from over-cleansing. She recommended a $8 drugstore cream cleanser and told me to just wash with lukewarm water in the morning. After three weeks my acne cleared up and my skin stopped feeling tight. Has anyone else found that simpler routine worked better for them?

Wait wait wait, your derm said just lukewarm water in the morning? That sounds wild to me, I scrub my face like twice a day with that gritty stuff.

Bet scrubbing that hard is just stripping your skin, isn't it?

Wait is that actually bad for your skin?
