A member asked:
Is water enough to clean the face?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Water is fine: Water has been used for thousands and thousands of years, and is fine. However, one should not overwash, as that will cause skin problems. If there is excessive oil on the skin, a gentle soap will help.
