For some reason, the switchover from Long's Drugstore to CVS means that those stores no longer carry my tried and true Clean and Clear cleanser and toner for sensitive skin. This was very inconvenient, especially as I was using the last of my travel-sized, self-decanted cleaner last week.
In desperation, I decided to try Aveeno Ultra-Calming Foaming Cleanser. I knew that a foaming cleanser might leave my skin feeling a bit tight, but I liked the "ultra-calming" claim. Plus, Aveeno has a solid reputation for living up to its claims to soothe skin. If I didn't buy it, I'd be washing my face with shower gel that night.
It was a risk worth taking. For less than $8, this product really does do what it says on the label. It's a real pleasure to use - light and somewhat creamy, but without the barrier cream effect of Cetaphil or Physician's Formula Gentle Cleansing Lotion (which contains mineral oil that just doesn't seem to rinse away).
I'm still going to keep looking for the Clean and Clear products, especially as the toner is now almost gone. Time to go treasure hunting online...
I love Aveeno products, but have not tried this one. This looks good though, I think I'll stop on my way home from work. Gotta pick up some other stuff anyways.

I just started using C&C toner, really like it, not too drying (which was why I stopped using toner at all, years ago). Must have got it from either Target or Walgreens. Or if not those, drugstore.com!

You can get Clean & Clear products at WalMart. I just looked them up on their website and they have tons.
