Which skin type would benefit most from a foaming cleanser?

Dry skin
Oily skin
Sensitive skin
Aging skin

The correct answer is: Oily skin

Foaming cleansers are particularly beneficial for oily skin due to their ability to deeply cleanse and remove excess oil and impurities. Oily skin is characterized by an overproduction of sebum, which can lead to clogged pores and acne breakouts. A foaming cleanser typically contains ingredients that help to break down and dissolve excess oil, providing a thorough clean without leaving a greasy residue. This type of cleanser works well for those with oily skin because it often has a lightweight, fresh texture that contributes to a feeling of cleanliness and can help to control shine throughout the day. In contrast, other skin types such as dry, sensitive, or aging skin may require gentler, more hydrating options that do not strip the skin of its natural oils, which could exacerbate dryness or irritation. Thus, for individuals with oily skin, foaming cleansers can effectively address their specific needs.
