For normal to dry skin
Luxurious cream-to-foam lather 🧼 Leaves skin feeling moisturized. Reminds me of whipped cream.
TULA - The Rich Rinse Nourishing Cream Cleanser
Great for normal to dry skin. It’s a creamy texture with a luxurious lather and a gentle physical exfoliation.
The Rice Wash - Soft Cream Rice Cleanser
A subtle foaming cleanser that keeps your skin hydrated. Bonus- it’s pretty good at giving makeup brushes a deep clean.
Skinfix Hydrating Foaming Oil Cleanser with Hyaluronic Acid
Sensitive safe face wash for any skin type! I would recommend it if your skin leans on the dry side. This one is my husband’s favorite.
Ultra Facial Cleanser
Oily Skin
Deep clean for oil control. Shiny forehead, nose, or cheeks.
Gel to foam cleanser for oily skin. This will give you a deep oil-absorbing squeaky clean
The Matcha Foam Cleanse: Clarifying Gel Cleanser
Gel cleanser best for oily skin. Gives a deep squeaky clean. Absorbs oil, so it can be drying on a dry skin type.
Superfood Antioxidant Cleanser - Youth To The People
My top recommendation for troublesome oily skin here. It gives a super deep clean and removes makeup. AHAs exfoliate and treat texture. Salicylic acid will help clear acne. May cause sun sensitivity in the daytime so use SPF after! $37
3-in-1 Clarifying Cleanser
Normal Skin Type
Not too oily, not too dry.
Orange 🍊 scented cleanser! Contains PHA to gently exfoliate. Can irritate skin if you skip sunscreen after using this. For all skin types, not for super sensitive skin.
OLEHENRIKSEN - Truth Juice Gentle Glow Daily Cleanser
Subtle cantaloupe scent and removes makeup! It’s a gel and doesn’t foam much. I would recommend to a normal skin type and not for sensitive skin.
Drunk Elephant Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser
Very Sensitive Skin
Most sensitive friendly formulas that are even safe to use on infants!
Best for sensitive skin! And for dry skin. This has been amazing for my daughter’s eczema. Cleanses without stripping any moisture. Skin feels great after.
6.76 oz Lipikar Wash AP+ Gentle Foaming Moisturizing Wash
Very gentle and sensitive skin safe! Removes most makeup too. I would recommend to most skin types unless you are very oily or very dry.
Pure Skin Face Cleanser - First Aid Beauty
Combination Skin
You get dry in some places, oily in others, like in the T-zone.
Gel-to-foam cleanser for oily or combination skin and pores! Has rice powder beads to gently exfoliate. Removes makeup and spf. Leaves skin feeling soft and not stripped. $26
Balance Mode Rice Foaming Deep Cleanser
A gel formula, very subtle foam, and can remove makeup. It balances skin by absorbing oil where needed.
Special Cleansing Gel for Gentle, Effective Cleansing
Another gel that’s gentle and doesn’t foam but gives you a super clean feeling and removes makeup. Reminds me of a spa.
Soy Face Cleanser - Full Size - 150 ml
Best for combination skin like oily nose and forehead. It’s a gel that foams up and is very sensitive skin friendly!
