- Fragrance-free
Cons
- Very foamy and can be messy

“I always felt like my skin was thoroughly cleaned and fresh after use,” says health writer Sadie Crouch. “I appreciated how exfoliating it felt without having to scrub hard.” She says that it worked well to remove makeup, adding, “It is super refreshing and works better than any other face cleanser I can remember using.”

Best for Oily Skin
Kiehl’s Rare Earth Deep Pore-Minimizing and Polishing Powder Cleanser
Pros
- Fairly traded Amazonian white clay helps absorb oil
- AHA exfoliates and leaves skin soft
- Can be used as an exfoliating paste or a daily cleanser
- Rinses off easily
Cons
- Can be too drying for those without oily skin
- Powder formula is not great for shower use
Key Specs
- Notable ingredients: Amazonian white clay, AHA, microcrystalline cellulose
- Scented: No
- Size: 3.5 oz
“I like being able to make it a gritty exfoliant or a creamier cleanser,” says wellness writer Catherine Brown. “To a quarter-sized amount of powder, half a drop of water will make it into a thin, grainy liquid paste. A full drop of water will make it even thinner and feel like it takes away the exfoliating potential.” Her skin felt very clean and quite taught after using this product. Brown also says that it left her skin a bit stripped, so she recommends it as an exfoliator and deep cleanser once or twice a week, if your skin isn’t very oily. We think that it may not be great for shower use, as the powder inside the bottle could get wet.
/wylys-phyto-green-cleansing-balm-500x500.jpg?sfvrsn=1d86333e_3)
Best for Dry Skin
WYLYS Phyto Green Cleansing Balm
Pros
- Includes hydrating oils like jojoba and grape seed oil
- Product goes on like a thick balm; uses less water than typical cleansers
- Babassu fights inflammation, while rosemary and lavender reduce acne
- Highly effective at removing makeup and sunscreen
Cons
- Eucalyptus-like scent may be strong for some
- Pricey
Key Specs
- Notable ingredients: Babassu seed oil, lavender oil, rosemary oil, jojoba oil, grape seed oil, green tea seed oil, apricot kernel oil, vitamin E
- Scented: Yes, naturally
- Size: 3.53 oz
“I was amazed by how well it removed my makeup and sunscreen while still being gentle and hydrating,” says editor Ashley Ziegler, who tested this product. You apply the cleanser, which is thick like petroleum jelly, to your face, without water at first, and it thins out as you add water and rinse it off. “After applying and adding water, it lathers up a little bit and becomes more watery (which was wild to me — this is the first cleansing balm I’ve ever tried, and didn’t expect it to lather).” She says she loves that the product isn’t messy, as you need to use less water than you would with a typical cleanser. She did mention that there is a strong eucalyptus-like scent, but that it doesn’t linger.
/skinceuticals-soothing-cleanser-foam-500x500.jpg?sfvrsn=72ae7e38_3)
Best for Sensitive Skin
SkinCeuticals Soothing Cleanser
Pros
- Extra gentle; great for sensitive skin
- Ingredients like sorbitol, glycerin, and coconut oil help maintain skin’s moisture
- Removes makeup easily
Cons
- Has a slightly medicinal scent
Key Specs
- Notable ingredients: Sorbitol, glycerin, orchid extract, cucumber extract, amino acid-based surfactant system
- Scented: No added fragrance, but it has a medicinal smell
- Size: 5 oz
“It is extremely foamy and easy to lather,” says writer Caroline Lubinski. “You only need a single pump.” Her only complaint was that the cleanser had a slightly medicinal smell to it, but that may be good for those who prefer to stay away from products with perfume or heavy fragrances.
/lumin-pdp-charcoal-face-wash-500x500.jpg?sfvrsn=b7d3a35c_1)
Best for Men
Lumin Charcoal Face Wash Daily Detox
Pros
- Masculine scent and marketed toward men
- Great for a deep clean
- Charcoal may help work against acne and oily skin
Cons
- May be drying to some
- Takes work to get it to lather
Key Specs
- Notable ingredients: Charcoal, rose flower oil, Centella asiatica extract
- Scented: Yes
- Size: 3.38 oz
“This face wash would be best for someone with oily or breakout-prone skin, or if you work at a job where you have to remove actual grime from your face,” says Smit. He liked the price point and the slender packaging, but he says that the product did leave his skin a bit dry. “[It] takes a little more work to get a lather,” he says. “It’s not super foamy; it tends to remain creamy, as opposed to foamy, once applied.”
Best for Teens
Anua Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam
Pros
- Very gentle, suitable for sensitive skin
- Contains salicylic acid to address acne and oily skin
- Hydrating hyaluronic acid and glycerin add moisture to the skin
- Exfoliating but not harsh
Cons
- Not very foamy, so those looking for more suds may not be fans
- The minty scent may not be for everyone
Key Specs
- Notable ingredients: Salicylic acid, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, heartleaf extract powder
- Scented: Listed as fragrance-free, but our tester noticed a fresh, minty scent
- Size: 5.07 oz
“For teens with mild acne, I recommend a face wash containing salicylic acid,” says Moghaddam. “It is generally not too irritating and can help reduce the number of blemishes.” We found that Anua Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam provided a good clean while remaining gentle. It contains salicylic acid, as well as hydrating hyaluronic acid and glycerin.
“It feels cleansing, and I experienced zero irritation,” says sexual health, nutrition, and fitness writer Maria Cristina Lalonde. “It’s very gentle, but exfoliating (unlike other products, it didn’t remove my spray tan).” We think it’s a good product for someone with normal or sensitive skin, or those who prefer to avoid harsh scrubs. Lalonde also mentioned that it has a fresh, minty scent, though the product is listed as fragrance-free.
/vanicream-gentle-facial-cleanser-500x500.jpg?sfvrsn=d8035b6c_1)
Best for Cystic Acne
Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser
Pros
- Formulated without irritants such as sulfates, gluten, dyes, lanolin, parabens, or formaldehyde releasers
- Fragrance-free
- NEA Seal of Acceptance
- Noncomedogenic, so it won’t clog pores
Cons
- May not be strong enough to remove makeup
- Doesn’t have any active ingredients to specifically address acne
Key Specs
- Notable ingredients: Glycerin
- Scented: No
- Size: 8 oz
“Cystic acne results in deep, painful blemishes that form beneath the skin’s surface and can lead to significant scarring if not properly managed,” says Moghaddam. “At this stage, it is crucial to involve a dermatologist in the treatment regimen to help prevent scarring. While patients may be on prescription treatments, it’s important to select facial cleansers that do not further irritate the skin.” Moghaddam recommends selecting a cleanser without additional anti-acne treatments if using a prescription for cystic acne. We’re big fans of Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser. This pH-balanced cleanser is formulated without irritants like sulfates, parabens, gluten, dyes, lanolin, and formaldehyde releasers, and it is specifically made for sensitive skin. And good news for the scent-sensitive: It’s also fragrance-free.
“My skin felt clean and had a nice shiny/nongreasy texture after,” says wellness writer Alexandra Klausner. “The lather becomes light, foamy, and bubbly. It feels refreshing on the skin.” Some users have said this product isn’t strong enough to remove their makeup. Those with acne should note that this cleanser isn’t formulated with ingredients to help treat acne, so it’s best for those who are using a prescription or treating their acne with other products.
/skinpharm-power-wash-exfoliating-cleanser.jpg?sfvrsn=2fd05017_1)
Best Exfoliating
SkinPharm Power Wash
Pros
- Gentle, exfoliating formula
- Includes salicylic acid, papaya and botanical extracts
- Leaves skin feeling clean, soft, and moisturized
Cons
- Recommended application method may not be practical
Key Specs
- Notable ingredients: Salicylic acid, salicylic acid, papaya and botanical extracts, rosemary, orange peel extract
- Scented: Yes, naturally
- Size: 6.76 oz
“I felt like it cleaned my skin well and might have had a slight brightening effect,” says health writer Alexandra Ginos. “My skin didn’t feel tight after using it, but it felt clean and smooth. I also thought it felt a little softer after washing, maybe slightly moisturized.” Ginos mentioned that the application method is different than with most products, as users are recommended to apply the product to dry skin before adding water. This might not be the best method for those who like to wash their face in the shower, and Ginos says it was a messy experience at times.
/madeca-derma-bontanic-cleansing-gel-500x500.jpg?sfvrsn=7205ebd1_1)
Best for Removing Blackheads
Madeca Derma Botanic Cleansing Gel
Pros
- Exfoliates with BHA and AHA
- Soap-free and vegan formula
- Includes hydrating soapwart, sodium olivate, and glycerin
- Travel size available
Cons
- Light botanical scent may not work for everyone
- Travel size has a pump, which may not be ideal for all travelers
Key Specs
- Notable ingredients: BHA, AHA, glycerin, sorbitol, fruit and vegetable extracts
- Scented: Yes, naturally
- Size: 8.3 oz
Madeca Derma Botanic Cleansing Gel uses BHA and AHA to get deep into pores to cleanse dirt, oil, and buildup. It’s soap-free and vegan, and it includes soapwort, glycerin, and sodium olivate for hydration. The company claims that the formula helps to minimize the appearance of pores as well.
“It’s a gel that becomes foamy at the time of application on the face,” says fitness writer Brittany Scanniello, who tested it. “It’s very smooth, even though it states that it’s exfoliating.” Scanniello describes it as a light foam that rinses off easily and does a good job at removing makeup. “My skin felt clean. Not overly dry or tight (which I did experience with another product I tested),” she adds. Scanniello also noted a light botanical scent and says that the product has a fairly long ingredient list that turns out to be mostly fruit and vegetable extracts. The cleanser comes in a travel size (3.38 oz) and a larger 8.3 oz bottle, but we wish that the smaller size came without a pump, for less mess and easier portability.
/skndustry-gylcolic-glow-pads-500x500.jpg?sfvrsn=ce9e145d_1)
Best Cleansing Pads
SKNdustry Glycolic Glow
Pros
- Brightens skin
- Gentle exfoliation with salicylic and glycolic acid
- Can be used up to three times a day
- Super portable, great for throwing in your work bag, gym bag, or carry-on
Cons
- Must be used along with a cleanser
- May be drying or irritating
- Strong medicinal scent
Key Specs
- Notable ingredients: Salicylic acid, glycolic acid (BHA and AHA)
- Scented: No added fragrance, but a strong medicinal scent
- Size: 60 pads
If you have acne, you may feel the need to follow up your regular cleansing with a cleansing pad, whether immediately after washing or throughout the day, to reduce oil and dirt. SKNdustry Glycolic Glow pads are meant to be used after cleansing for exfoliation, oil control, and breakout reduction. The pads combine salicylic acid and glycolic acid, an AHA, for deep cleansing. They’re portable, and there’s no need to rinse after use, so they’re great for when you’re running out the door.
“Salicylic acid products have helped reduce my acne in the past, and this one has a pretty high concentration, so I would imagine with regular use it could improve my acne,” says health writer Erin Heger. She did mention that her skin felt a bit dry and tight after use. She also notes that the product has a strong medicinal scent, which may not be great for sensitive skin and noses.
Best Oil Cleanser
Hanskin Pore Cleansing Oil
Pros
- Good for dissolving makeup and water-resistant sunscreen
- PHA gently exfoliates, unclogs pores, and clears blackheads
- Tea tree oil mitigates breakouts
- Leaves skin feeling moisturized and hydrated
Cons
- Oil cleansers may not be appropriate for all skin types
- May create more sun sensitivity
Key Specs
- Notable ingredients: Soybean oil, ethylhexyl palmitate, aloe vera
- Scented: Yes, naturally
- Size: 10.14 oz
The product begins as a luxurious oil but then lathers lightly with the addition of water. It is recommended that you take extra care to wear sunscreen when using this product, as PHA can create sun sensitivity. I’ve used the cleansing oil method before, and I found it to be most effective when followed by a second water-based cleanser after wearing heavy makeup. This is called double cleansing, and it has gained popularity in recent years. However, Moghaddam says that it’s overhyped. “Double cleansing, a popular social media trend, is generally overkill, unless you are wearing very heavy or costume-level makeup. Over-washing can strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation,” she says.
/youth-to-the-people-kale-green-tea-spinach-vitamins-superfood-cleanser-500x500.jpg?sfvrsn=cedb8288_1)
Best Vegan
Youth to the People Superfood Cleanser
Pros
- Vegan and cruelty-free
- Made with vitamin-rich ingredients like kale, spinach, and green tea
- Cleanses away makeup and SPF while protecting the skin’s moisture barrier
- Gentle and suitable for everyday use
Cons
- May not be cleansing enough to remove a full face of makeup
- Doesn’t lather a lot
Key Specs
- Notable ingredients: Kale, spinach, green tea, vitamin C, vitamin E
- Scented: Yes
- Size: 8 oz
This vegan, cruelty-free cleanser is like a juice cleanse for your face. Made with vitamin-rich superfoods like kale, spinach, and green tea, it delivers antioxidants to the skin to help defend against free radicals such as pollution. It’s formulated to cleanse and minimize the pores.
“I love the glass packaging,” says women’s health and wellness writer Lindsay Modglin, who tested this product. “I like the way my skin feels after using it. I also like the texture, as it’s thicker and doesn’t slide around in your hand when you’re trying to apply it to your face.” While Modglin says she didn’t see any major changes to her acne while using the product, she thinks it’s a good pick for a gentle, everyday cleanser. She didn’t notice any tightness or drying while using it, and she says that the light fragrance wasn’t bothersome.
/arbonne-deep-pore-acne-cleanser-500x500.jpg?sfvrsn=d2d1f801_1)
Best for Clearing Pores
Arbonne Clear Future Deep Pore Acne Cleanser
Pros
- Can be used as a spot treatment for acne
- Salicylic acid clears pores and exfoliates
- Anti-inflammatory and anti-fungal properties
- Vegan and cruelty-free
- Unscented, ideal for those with sensitivities
Cons
- Non-foaming, which some users may not prefer
- May cause skin tightness
Key Specs
- Notable ingredients: Salicylic acid, white willow bark extract, sage leaf extract, calendula extract, witch hazel
- Scented: No
- Size: 4 oz
“I love how it goes on and comes off without leaving my skin feeling too lotiony,” says wellness writer Jen Sinclair, who tested this one. She says that she noticed a tightness, which didn’t bother her, but it may not be the feeling all users are looking for.
