Cleansers: What Actually Matters

Most cleansers fail in one of two directions: they don't remove sunscreen, sebum, and makeup thoroughly enough, or they strip so much oil that skin feels tight and reactive within minutes. The right formula depends entirely on what you're removing and how resilient your skin barrier currently is. Below, each cleanser is grouped by texture and mechanism rather than marketing claims, so you can match the formula to what your skin actually needs.
