This is the cleanser category I recommend when someone wants clean skin without the squeaky-clean rebound oil spiral.
Best for: Combination, oily, and acne-prone skin.
Watch for: If your cheeks feel tight after washing, downgrade to a creamier texture.
A cream cleanser is often the better buy when irritation is the main issue, because a harsher cleanser makes every active feel worse.
Best for: Dry, sensitive, or over-treated skin.
Watch for: You may want a separate makeup-removing step at night.
Twice a day (morning and night) is best.
Only if it is formulated specifically for the face. Body soap is too harsh.
You might need to wash twice (double cleanse) or use a makeup remover first.

Lukewarm is ideal. Cold water does not dissolve oil as well.
No. Squeaky means you stripped your moisture barrier. It should feel soft.
Fingers are usually best. Brushes can be too aggressive for daily use.
Yes, as long as the water is not scalding hot.
Yes, your skin produces oil and sheds dead cells even indoors.
Rubbing pulls at the skin, which can cause irritation and wrinkles over time.
