When it comes to the art of face washing, us ladies take it pretty seriously. We carefully select our skin care products and practically give ourselves a facial in the a.m. and p.m.. We do this ritual in the morning to look and feel refreshed and awake (even when we likely got less than six hours of sleep). And then we wash the day off of our faces in the evening, removing all traces of makeup, as well as any dirt and excess oil. But a cleanser is a cleanser, right? Don't they all do the same job? Hardly. Our readers gave us their two cents about which cleansers made their faces squeaky clean -- without leaving their skin feeling like the Sahara. What product was ranked No. 1 by TotalBeauty.com readers?

See the 18 best facial cleansers now to find out.

This list of skin care products has got something for everyone. There are formulas for all different skin types from sensitive to acne-prone to combination to dry to oily and even those of us with rosacea. You can choose from bars or pumps, mild or deep cleansing and take your pick from exfoliating, creamy, foamy, or even frothy. You'll see that these skin care products give our readers their best skin ever and helps them put their, um, best face forward every day.

Because of this article I had to buy the DHC Cleansing Oil. I must say it is a good cleanser. Wasn't sure at first with it being an oil, but it does a fantastic job. It takes all kinds of makeup off including that Mally waterproof mascara that just doesn't want to leave!

Really good product round-up; too bad so many of them are expensive!

The best face wash is the TwinLuxe Renewing Face Wash & Scrub. I use this face wash daily and the scrub is very gentle on my skin. I highly recommend!

I agree that the Origins Frothy (checks and balances) is the best cleanser for oily/combination skin I have tried. I am curious about the oil-type cleanser - fighting oil with oil sounds intriguing. Thanks for the article-good one!

I like to use Dove beauty bars as a facial cleanser, and Aveeno is also good.
