Wintertime Cleansing

I'm exercising a lot lately and need a decent cleanser. My age and somewhat dermatitis prone skin has made finding one for this time of year pretty difficult.

I seem to have hit on some success from the Shiseido Benefiance line:
. The cleanser has a rich, plush foam, is enriched with oils, and has scrubbing beads that moisturize (as they exfoliate) rather than just scrub. (There aren't many of them, so I wouldn't expect this to take the place of mechanical or physical exfoliation.)

Too bad I hadn't thought of this earlier-- when I was younger, the Shiseido line was also the best way for me to keep my skin acne free (I had pretty good skin) as long as I had the money! At around $35, the Benefiance cleanser is pricey but you really need only a tiny amount, so I'm hoping the tube will last around three months.
