Do you need both a face wash and a face cleanser? Or are they just doing the same job differently? 
This is a common question women across India ask while building a skincare routine.
Today, we’re decoding the real difference between Sanatlyn Face Wash and the Sanatlyn 3-in-1 Face Cleanser, so you can choose how to use each—or both—for glowing, balanced skin.

What Is a Face Wash & What Makes Sanatlyn’s Unique?

A face wash is designed to gently foam up and remove dirt, oil, and surface impurities from your skin.
Sanatlyn’s Vitamin C Face Wash goes beyond basic cleansing — it's enriched with berry extracts, vitamin C, and natural antioxidants to brighten and energise your skin.

Why You’ll Love Sanatlyn Face Wash:

• Light foaming formula deeply cleanses without stripping natural oils

• Contains Mulberry, Raspberry, and Potato Extract to boost radiance

• Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and oily

• Keeps your skin feeling fresh, hydrated, and balanced

• Works great for morning and night skincare routines

What Is a Face Cleanser & Why Sanatlyn’s 3-in-1 Formula Stands Out

A face cleanser is a non-foaming skincare product that gently cleans without drying out your skin.
Sanatlyn’s 3-in-1 Face Cleanser is more than just a cleanser — it also tones and moisturises in one step.
This makes it a time-saving, multitasking product for those who want effective care without multiple steps.

Why You’ll Love Sanatlyn 3-in-1 Face Cleanser:

• Cleanses, tones, and moisturises in a single step

• Infused with Dead Sea Mud, Kaolin Clay, and Almond Oil

• Works well for all skin types, especially when skin feels tired or dry

• Can be used as a daily cleanser or as a mask when left for 10–15 minutes

• Ideal for both morning and nighttime routines

7 Key Differences Between Sanatlyn Face Wash and Face Cleanser

1. Formula Type

• Face Wash: Light, foaming gel that rinses clean.

• Face Cleanser: Creamy, clay-based formula with a thicker texture.

2. Multifunctionality

• Face Wash: Focuses on cleansing and brightening with antioxidants.

• Face Cleanser: A 3-in-1 product — acts as a cleanser, toner, and moisturiser in one go.

3. Skin Benefits

• Face Wash: Refreshes, removes oil and dirt, and promotes brightness.

• Face Cleanser: Purifies, hydrates, balances skin pH, and preps skin for the day or night.

4. Best Use Scenarios

• Face Wash: Great after waking up, before stepping out, or after a long day.

• Face Cleanser: Perfect for deeper care, makeup removal, or a no-fuss skincare routine.

5. Texture Experience

• Face Wash: Light and airy with a bubbly lather.

• Face Cleanser: Rich and nourishing, and it softens as it works.

6. Time Required

• Face Wash: Quick rinse — 30 to 60 seconds.

• Face Cleanser: Can be massaged in and left for 10–15 minutes for extra benefits.

7. Hydration Level

• Face Wash: Maintains hydration while cleansing.

• Face Cleanser: Actively moisturises with almond oil and TDSA ingredients.

Why Sanatlyn Recommends Using Both in Your Routine

Skincare is not about choosing one product over another — it’s about what your skin needs at different moments.

Sanatlyn’s skincare line is built to complement each product, not compete with each other.

You can use:

• Sanatlyn Face Wash in the morning or night for a gentle yet effective cleanse

• Sanatlyn 3-in-1 Cleanser anytime you want hydration, care, and glow in one go

Depending on the weather, your skin’s mood, or even your energy level, having both gives you the flexibility to treat your skin right.
