A face wash and a face cleanser are both products that are used to cleanse the skin. However, there are some key differences between the two. A face wash is typically a liquid product that is applied to the skin with water and then rinsed off. Face cleansers, on the other hand, come in both liquid and gel form and can be either rinsed off or removed with a cloth.

Face cleansers may also contain surfactants, but they often include other ingredients as well, such as exfoliants and moisturisers.

When it comes to choosing between a face wash and a face cleanser, it really depends on your personal preference and skin type.
