cleanser and face wash is same - #28057

Arush

I am confused about whether a cleanser and face wash is the same thing. Last week, I ran out of my face wash, which I thought was the best for my oily skin. I was desperate and used my roommate's product, which she claims is a cleaner, but it didn’t feel the same at all! My skin felt kinda tight and dry afterwards, which made me think maybe a cleanser and face wash is not the same, right? I mean, I always believed they were interchangeable, but now I am not so sure. The label on her product said ‘cleanser’ and there was nothing about ‘face wash’ on it. I’ve noticed that some people have different opinions on the whole theme. Can anyone explain if a cleanser and face wash is really the same? Like, do they have different purposes? Is it possible that using a cleanser instead of a face wash could mess up my skin? My face feels a little off lately, and I am worried that I might've made some mistake by using something not meant for my skin type. Would really appreciate any clarification here!
