I’ve been using SheaMoisture African Black soap for a few years and love it. My skin tends to be dry, but in the past I also dealt with cystic acne; it’s in the best condition it’s been in years since I’ve been using it. And it's cheap- $4.99 for a bar that probably lasts me 3 months. Read more

I have mature oily skin, meaning 99% of cleansers either strip my skin, clog my pores like crazy, or both. I discovered evanhealy Rose Cleansing Milk last year and never looked back. It’s the perfect daily cleanser: non-lathering (surfactants are awful ): ), deep cleansing, and keeps my skin at a perfect balance.

S.W. Basics Cleanser is a great SUPER gentle but very effective. It is great for very very sensitive skin, or even for problematic skin. Smells awesome and is great either on it’s own or used with a cleansing sponge.

The best I have found. Good cleansing with very light exfoliation, no rashes (most products give me rashes), easily balanced with a moisturizer.

I like the Clinique Liquid Facial Cleanser. I prefer the mild formula for dry/combo skin, but they also offer regular and creamier versions for different skin types. It’s basic: cleanses—even removes mascara—but doesn’t dry out my skin. It’s $17, but a little goes a long way (this bottle lasts me a looooong time).

I am (drunk?) in love with Drunk Elephant’s Juju bar. The line is on the pricey side, but this bar is worth every penny. It’s already lasted me three months of 2x daily use, and I have a solid chunk of the bar left - I suspect it will last me at least another month. In terms of skin quality, the bar is freaking magic.

Eucerin Redness Relief Soothing Cleanser

My skin is very prone to redness and irritation (I might have roseaca). I have been using this for about 6 months and my skin seems less red plus it does a good job of makeup removal and doesn't dry my face out. Also no smell so that's good.

Neutrogena’s fresh foaming cleanser is my favorite face wash, hands down. It’s billed as a face wash AND makeup remover and it truly does both, this is spoken from person who wears a medium to full coverage foundation and mascara almost every single day. I got the recommendation from beautypedia.com and pretty much Read more

CeraVe Foaming cleanser. I use it after I’ve removed my makeup. It does an excellent job of cleansing my face and removing any traces of makeup I missed while not leaving me with that dreaded tight face feeling. It lasts a long time since you get so much product. Been using the same bottle for close to 6 months. You Read more

Neutrogena Naturals Fresh Cleansing + Makeup Remover is my favorite. It takes off even eye makeup super easily and isn’t drying. Plus you can get it at any drugstore and it isn’t ridiculously expensive.

I got the Foreo night cleanser in a beauty box a few months ago and love it. It removes all of my makeup without needing to use a washrag and doesn’t break me out (most cleansers) or leave my skin feeling too dry. Read more

My go-to is St. Ives Green Tea Scrub. Gentle, naturally-derived exfoliants that help clear clogged pores. I have sensitive skin but the exfoliants are small enough not to irritate my skin. Salicylic Acid (1%) to help with my acne prone skin. Paraben and sulfate free for those who are concerned about chemicals they put
