A good cleanser is the foundation of any skincare routine. It not only removes makeup, dirt, and oil but also preps the skin to absorb the benefits of everything that follows.

Over time, I’ve tried several cleansers and found a few that really stand out for different needs—whether it’s a quick refresh in the morning, a gentle cleanse for sensitive skin, or a powerful option that melts away makeup. Here are some favorites worth highlighting!

The Ordinary Glucoside Foaming Face Cleanser

Simple yet effective, this foaming cleanser has become a staple in daily use. It removes non-waterproof makeup easily and leaves the skin feeling clean without being stripped. Perfect for the end of the day, it also sets the stage nicely for the rest of the skincare routine.

Fresh Soy Face Cleanser

Originally tried in a travel size, this cleanser quickly earned a permanent place. It’s incredibly gentle and formulated with naturally derived ingredients, making it ideal for sensitive skin. While it’s not meant for removing heavy makeup, it works beautifully for refreshing the skin and clearing away dust and excess oils.

Fenty Skin Melt Awf Jelly Oil Cleanser

For full coverage looks and waterproof products, this jelly-to-oil formula is a go-to. It dissolves even the most stubborn mascara and foundation without leaving a greasy residue. The texture is lightweight, making it both effective and pleasant to use.

Derma E Cloud Cleanser

Light and foamy, this cleanser is perfect for a morning routine. It rinses off easily, leaving the skin soft and refreshed. Paired with hyaluronic acid afterward, it helps maintain hydration and keeps the skin balanced throughout the day.

Each of these cleansers serves a different purpose, from gentle daily refreshers to heavy-duty makeup removers. Having a few options on hand makes it easy to adapt to different needs—whether it’s starting the day with something light, soothing sensitive skin, or melting away a full glam look. Together, they create a versatile cleansing routine that keeps skin fresh, clean, and ready for care!
