Facial Cleansers Worth Repurchasing
15
items I used to think a cleanser was just a cleanser. Then I turned 40 and suddenly the wrong face wash could leave my skin feeling tight, dry, irritated, or somehow all three at once. These are the cleansers I’ve actually repurchased because they clean my...

Tools That Upgrade Your Cleanse
Remove Makeup + SPF
My current nightly cleanser. This oil cleanser turns milky when you add water and feels super hydrating even after you wash it off.
Best Drugstore Oil Cleanser
Splurge oil cleanser that is one of the cleanest in terms of rinsing away that I’ve ever used. I love the luxurious feel of this, and Dieux is a great brand for maintaining the skin barrier.
Sephora Oil Cleanser
The best cleansing balm I’ve tried for removing makeup and SPF. Leaves my skin clean, soft and hydrated.
Holy Grail Cleansing Balm
I stopped using makeup wipes years ago and use this as a first step when I’m wearing heavy makeup. It’s super gentle, and especially great for eye makeup.
Eye Makeup Remover
Dry Skin Favorites
This cleanser contains squalene oil, colloidal oatmeal and glycerin which all help to hydrate the skin barrier. One of the most moisturizing facial cleansers I’ve found.
Cream Cleanser for Dry Skin
If your skin feels tight after cleansing, this is the kind of gentle cleanser worth trying. It has multiple forms of hyaluronic acid, ceramides, glycerin, and squalane to cleanse without stripping your skin, making it a great option for dry, dehydrat...
Hyaluronic Acid Gel Cleanser
Gentle Everyday Cleansers
This formula is super gentle and doesn’t leave my skin feeling stripped. I use it daily either as my only cleanse, or as the second step of my double cleanse if I’m taking off heavy SPF or makeup.
My Everyday Cleanser
One of the few Sephora facial cleansers I feel like is worth the money. It truly cleans everything off my face and leaves it feeling hydrated.
Dermatologist Gel Cleanser
You can’t go wrong with this face wash. It’s gentle, but effective and great for all skin types!
Super Effective Daily Wash
Sensitive Skin Favorites
My favorite cleansing oil. So lightweight, easy to rinse off, and feels luxurious.
Best Oil Cleanser for Sensitive/Red Skin
I love Prequel’s products for how gentle they are because I have sensitive skin that reacts quickly to products it doesn’t like. Anytime I’m having a reactive barrier, I reach for this calming cleanser.
Redness Calming Cleanser
This was my holy grail until my skin got super dry and I had to switch to something more hydrating. But this is truly a fantastic face wash that you can’t go wrong with — good for sensitive skin, good at removing makeup and grime, and won’t dry you o...
Drugstore Sensitive Cleanser
Tools That Upgrade Your Cleanse
I see and feel a huge difference in my skin after I use this. My skin is smoother, especially on my nose. I use it a couple times a week and I swear it makes me look younger because it’s getting rid of the dead skin that makes you look dull and tired...
Cleansing Brush for Deep Clean
A dermatologist friend always told me to have separate towels for my face and use a new one at least every other day. So I invested in these and they’re perfect. So soft and absorbent, and they come with enough that you can go 2 weeks before you need...
Microfiber Face Cloths
I used to think these were only for tweens/teens, but getting water in my hair and dripping down my arms was always the worst part of washing my face. Now this keeps me dry and makes it a more pleasant experience.
