Pore Perfecting Cleanser
Why we love it: Cream cleansers are usually known for being soft and hydrating, and this winner is no exception. It’s definitely nourishing (thanks to moisturizing ingredients like hyaluronic acid), but it also buffs away dead skin cells with cellulose (an exfoliant derived from wood pulp) for a soft, radiant glow. Plus, it’s fragrance- and alcohol-free, making it an ideal product for anyone with sensitive or dry skin.
Bonus points, per the experts: Salicylic acid and niacinamide—both great ingredients for fighting acne—make this a solid choice for anyone prone to blemishes.
One tester said: “This was a 10 for me! The texture was perfectly smooth and silky, and my face had a bit of a glow afterward. I’ll rebuy this for sure!”

Salicylic Acid Cleanser
Why we love it: Leave it to dermatologist Sandra Lee, MD, (a.k.a. Dr. Pimple Popper) to create a gentle—but still super effective and pleasantly foamy—cleanser for all types of bumps. Salicylic acid will work its magic on whiteheads and blackheads, but you don’t have to worry about compromising your moisture barrier either, thanks to calming ingredients like glycerin.
