Do we ruin skin barrier with 'gentle' cleansers?

That derm's take rubbed me wrong, but I also saw a 45-year-old in Austin last week who stripped her face raw using a 'purifying' gel every day. I'm split between thinking we overcorrected toward gentle products and knowing some skin needs that extra help. Has anyone here switched a regular client to water-only and seen real results, or did they bounce back to cleansers fast?

honestly i think we're making this way more complicated than it needs to be. like yeah some people wreck their face with harsh stuff but most of us are just washing our faces and moving on with our day. you see one bad case and suddenly everyone's panicking about their cleanser pH levels.
