Best Cleansers for Skin, Tried and Tested

The biggest myth surrounding cleansing oils? That they’re not suitable for breakout-prone skin. While this might be true for formulas with comedogenic (or pore-clogging) ingredients, the same can’t be said for this derm-approved cleanser. Fragrance free and ultra hydrating, every use is clinically proven to increase skin’s hydration, smooth uneven texture, and reduce redness. Leaving skin soft and clean, we rarely feel the need to second cleanse - but we do always follow with their Triple Lipid-Peptide Cream.

Tried and tested: “This product was my first time trying Skinfix, and let me tell you, it will not be my last! This cleanser left my skin feeling squeaky clean, yet completely hydrated! I have acne prone combination skin, and struggle with finding a good cleanser that doesn't leave my skin feeling dry and tight. But the ingredients in this wash are gentle, yet extremely effective at cleansing, and leave my skin feeling smooth and hydrated all day! The cherry on top is that the product is completely cruelty-free, vegan, and the bottle is made with recycled plastic. Can’t wait to try more!” - Julia, Customer Review 

If there’s one cleanser we always recommend for sensitive, acne-prone skin, it’s this bestselling cream cleanser. Derm-approved and recommended for even the most angry, inflamed skin, it’s formulated with the brand’s signature Thermal Spring Water and is designed to lift even the most stubborn makeup to leave skin feeling soft, soothed and clean. Just gently massage onto dry skin and wipe off with a cotton pad. Using in the morning? Follow with La Roche-Posay’s cult SPF50 Fluid.

Tried and tested: “When I first bought this, I used it like a normal cleanser, thinking it was really gentle but that it just didn't clean well! That was until I realised that you're supposed to apply it straight onto dry skin. When I did that, I could feel it melting my sunscreen away like it never had done before. Will definitely repurchase now that I know how to use it; it works even better as part of a 'double cleanse’.” - Robbie, Customer Review

A fan of MEDIK8’s bestselling micellar water? Then you’ll love this softening cleansing oil. No frills but all thrills, this lipid-enriched formula is a great cleanser for dry skin - or those looking for a little extra love. Designed to dissolve impurities with a powerful but gentle blend of Safflower Oil and Moringa Seed Extract, we massage into dry skin and emulsify with lukewarm water for the ultimate cleanse.

Tried and tested: “My favourite cleansing oil, I use it as my first cleanse every evening. It's got a wonderful aroma, great texture and glides onto skin beautifully before adding water to turn it into a milk. I like to remove it with hot towels (when I'm feeling extra!). It really brings the scent out and gives you that wonderful spa-like feeling.” - Jan, Customer Review
