Gel and Foaming Cleanser
I love this cleanser, one of my favs for dry skin!!
La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Facial Cleanser
Unlike the other ones, I reach for this when my skin feels extra oily. It helps remove excess oil and unclog my pores without making my skin feel super stripped.
La Roche-Posay Toleriane Purifying Foaming Face Wash
I use this after my Bioderma micellar water. My sister actually recommended it because she uses it when she has heavy makeup on. I don’t really wear makeup, but I still love using it as part of my cleansing routine. 😂
The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser
After using Bioderma and The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser, I use this one as my next cleanse. It’s super affordable and gentle, and I feel like it works well for all skin types!
Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser Sensitive
For my acne-prone skin, this is definitely one of the most proven and tested cleansers I’ve tried. Hahahaha! It’s one of the ones I keep coming back to whenever my skin is acting up.
Acne Foaming Wash Benzoyl Peroxide 10%
I also tried the HaruHaru cleanser, and I really like it! It’s suitable for all skin types and feels very hydrating. It doesn’t leave my skin feeling dry or tight after cleansing.
Black Rice Triple AHA Gentle Cleansing Gel
If my skin is feeling extra sensitive or prone to irritation, this is one of the cleansers I’d recommend. It feels gentle and doesn’t make my skin feel overly stripped.
ETUDE Soon Jung PH 6.5 Whip Cleanser (150ml)
The way this cleanser foams is SO GOOD! 😭🫶 I love how satisfying it feels to use, and it works well for sensitive, oily, and dry skin.
Celimax The Real Noni Acne Bubble Cleanser
This is another holy grail for me! It works really well, and I especially love how moisturizing it feels after cleansing.
1025 Dokdo Cleanser
I almost forgot about this one! Hahahaha. 😂 I reach for this when my skin looks dull or when I’m trying to improve the appearance of an uneven skin tone.
ExfoliKate® Cleanser Daily Foaming Wash
I started using this because my sister recommended it to me. She loves how well it removes makeup, leaves her skin feeling smooth, and even smells good! I have sensitive skin, and surprisingly, it works really well for me too.
Purifying Cleanser - Prebiotic Face Wash | TULA Skincare
And of course, we can’t forget my one and only CeraVe! 😂 Still one of my favorite cleansers for normal-to-oily skin. It’s definitely one of those reliable cleansers I always go back to.
CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser
Okay, let’s not forget Cetaphil either! Hahaha. 😂 I love this one for dry and sensitive skin because it feels gentle and comfortable on my face.
Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser Face & Body
Micellar and Oil Cleanser
I use this as my first cleanse in my nighttime routine. I especially like it when my skin feels congested or when I’m dealing with clogged pores. It’s also marketed for acne-prone and fungal-acne-prone skin.
Sensibio H2O Micellar Water for Sensitive Skin
If you want a good cleanser for daily make up, you can use this one, it non comedogenic so it wont clog your pores!!
Haruharu WONDER Black Rice Deep Cleansing Oil
Another holy grail!!! 😭🫶 I especially use this when the weather gets cold and my face starts feeling extra dry. It’s great for sensitive skin and leaves my skin feeling moisturized and hydrated instead of tight and uncomfortable.
