The art of cleansing has progressed immensely over several thousand years from simply scraping the skin to an exercise in relaxation and improvement in the skin's health and appearance in the present day. Soaps - the basic cleansing agent has also undergone a sea change in its evolution with many variants and newer constituents being incorporated into it. In dermatological disorders like acne, rosacea, atopic dermatitis, photoaging, 'sensitive skin', occupational dermatosis cleansers may have a beneficial role along with other therapeutic measures. With the advent of aesthetic dermatology, the act of cleansing and the use of various cleansing agents prior to aesthetic procedures has also assumed significance.
清洁的技艺在几千年间取得了巨大进步，从简单地刮擦皮肤发展到如今成为一种放松身心、改善皮肤健康和外观的活动。肥皂——基本的清洁用品——在其演变过程中也经历了翻天覆地的变化，许多变体和新成分被融入其中。在痤疮、玫瑰痤疮、特应性皮炎、光老化、“敏感性皮肤”、职业性皮肤病等皮肤病中，清洁剂可能与其他治疗措施一起发挥有益作用。随着美容皮肤科的出现，在美容手术前进行清洁的行为以及使用各种清洁剂也变得至关重要。
