Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser$4.99Two out of three ain't bad: This thick white cleanser sloughs away dry skin and oil, but is way too gentle to effectively remove makeup. We love that it contains a mere eight ingredients. The product eschews harsh, drying fragrances for moisturizing gylcol and non-irritating cetyl alcohol, so it's easier to wash away traces...More |

Tess Scrub-It-Off Cleanser$14.00Tess Scrub-It-Off Strawberry-Jojoba Facial Cleanser is fun to use -- mainly due to its strawberry smell. The strawberry isn't just for scent though; the extract exfoliates, soothes and minimizes pores. Jojoba beads, aloe vera and hibiscus flower extract add to a long list of ingredients, so it can be hard to tell what's wor...More |

Pond's Cold Cream$7.99This was supposed to be a family secret, but I have to share: My mother, whose skin looks a decade younger than she is, swears by daily use of this thick, greasy cream. When I was a teen, the mineral-oil base made my acne-prone skin too shiny. Now I use it to remove stubborn makeup and give occasional moisture-rich facials....More |

Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Cleanser$6.19It's not quite the "no more raccoon eyes" advertised, but this oil-free, hypoallergenic cleanser does a fair job of lathering off light makeup and dirt. But heavy-duty jobs, like cleaning oily skin or removing eye makeup, might require a second suds-ing. Like most pump-able products, it conveniently delivers all b...More |

Olay Warming Deep Purifying Cleanser$9.99Product pet peeve: when a brand flaunts antioxidants like green tea, but they're so low on the ingredients list, you'd have to swim in a vat of it to see any "purifying" benefits. This warming, micro-bead scrub feels like an at-home mini-facial. But does it remove impurities better than basic cleansing? All eviden...More |

Benefit You Clean Up Nice!$ 23.00 If you're looking for a gentle, oil-free gel cleanser to remove dirt and almost all makeup, You Clean Up Nice! does the trick for normal to dry skin. The citrus-scented wash leaves skin soft, not tight. But it's not perfect: My toner showed traces of makeup left behind, and it can't be used on eyes. At mo...More |
