Default Is there any soap that works for me?!?!

Soaps I've tried: cetaphil cleanser, cetaphil soap for sensitive skin, neutrogena soap for sensitive skin, 365 vegetable glycerin soap ... all of these are fragrance-free.

Cetaphil cleanser made me break out. Cetaphil soap and neutrogena soap bars dried me out. 365 v.glycerin soap caused an allergic reaction.

How can I possibly use soap if every soap dries out or irritates my skin.... or makes me break out??? I don't think it's possible to find a soap that works on my skin. I wear make-up, so I have to use something to remove it. Any suggestions???

Skin type: red, dry, super-duper sensitive, and allergic-reaction prone.

I personally think soaps are too drying aswell. Why not try a cleanser lotion instead? I am sure people can advise what they find useful.

My dermatologist recommended VaniCream Cleansing Bar and it works for me.

I'm pretty sure cetaphil has fragrance in it. If it doesn't, it sures smells like it.

Cerave makes a nice soapless cleanser, and is great for dry/sensitive skin.

I have sensitive skin and Clinique mild soap works brilliantly for me. If you go to the Clinique counter in any large store they usually have free samples for you to try.
