92% of women use facial cleansers on a daily basis, and the overwhelming majority come packaged in plastic.
Yikes!

I use bar soap. It needs to be for eczema and roascia.
I do not use soaps, cleansers or creams to wash my face. I use a Nanotowel and just warm water. Works great, takes off dirt and makeup. No chemicals.
I use the most natural thing I can get my hands on and sometimes make my own. I hate the containers (plastic) and would be very open to trying something new. My whole family uses your lip balm and we love it!
I use Clean & Clear essentials foaming cleanser every morning and evening, followed with toner, moisturizer, and sometimes other products. Almost all of them come in plastic bottles/packaging and I’d love a plastic alternative! I’d be open to trying bars or other gel cleansers, but it would need to be fragrance free :)
My skin is sensitive and can be dry, so I look for fragrance free and without harsh chemicals. Lather is not important to me as long as it can effectively dissolve makeup. I also need it to be safe for the eye area, as I dont like to use separate eye-makeup remover; I want one -step cleansing. I am currently using Carina Organics unscented face cleanser but wish they had a refill option, as it is in a plastic pump. I also typically use a microfibre face cloth to rinse my face.
My skin is mature, dry, and super sensitive. I must use something fragrance-free, non-allergenic, and mild. Only a handful of brands don’t irritate my skin. A cream can get contaminated in a jar, so it must be a bottle, but I’d consider a bar. Non-plastic packaging would be a plus — very hard to find. I use soft bamboo washcloths.
Right now I am doing the double cleanse method and use a Japanese cleansing oil and foaming cleanser. This Japanese brand offers refill pouches, which is I hope a little better than buying a new bottle each time. For me to try something new, it would HAVE to be 100% fragrance-free and as well as free of essential oils and sensitizing ingredients, period. Those items do not belong in skincare, no matter how “natural” they are and a dermatologist will tell you the same. No irritating ingredients, just gentle and mild, please.
I use a bar facial cleanser and have been experimenting with making my own oil mixture to get away from moisturizers than come in plastic bottles.
I use something super oily to remove makeup and dirt, and something super creamy oily to moisturize my skin to sleep in.
I use an Osage orange cleanser but it does come in a plastic bottle. Also use a microfiber washcloth with water.
