A face wash is like soap—it foams up, gets rid of oil, sweat, and dirt fast. It’s great for oily skin because it makes your face feel squeaky clean.
A cleanser is usually more gentle—more creamy or gel-like. It still cleans, but it doesn’t foam much. It’s better if you want to clean your skin without stripping away all your natural oils.
So:
Face wash = foam, strong clean, great for oily or sweaty days
Cleanser = gentle, soft clean, better for sensitive or dry-ish oily skin
Some people use both—cleanser in the morning, face wash at night.
