 #1. Murad Clarifying Cleanser 6.75 fl. oz.
This cleanser is formulated to treat and prevent acne and skin breakouts by reducing 99.9 percent of irritating surface bacteria in less than one minute, but at the same time, gentle enough for everyday use. It’s got a pleasant scent as well and lasts forever. |
 #2.Like it’s name implies, Glytone is formulated with glycolic acid to help remove dead surface skin cells to reveal a healthy looking, revitalized complexion. It cleanses the skin of dirt, oil and makeup while balancing the skin’s natural pH. It doesn’t overdry the skin unlike many other glycolic acid-based cleansers. Of course, do be sure not to overcleanse! |
 #3. Korres White Tea Facial Fluid Gel Cleanser
This fluid gel cleanser foams to a mild lather that’s uniquely fresh, and uh, like tea! Infused with an innovative, breakfast-for-the-skin active complex, it works gently to free the skin from impurities and makeup, leaving you glowing. A treat for the tea lovers! Paraben-free as well. |
 #4. Obagi Nu-Derm Gentle Cleanser
An extremely gentle cleanser with a light, herbal fragrance. This cleanser is perfect and although it does not have a high foaming action, it will do a very thorough job of removing make-up–particularly stubborn mascara. Leaves the skin soft and supple instead of tight. It is perfect for sensitive skin. |
 #5. Peter Thomas Roth Chamomile Cleansing Lotion
A gentle, natural herbal cleansing lotion which harnesses the power of naturally soothing chamomile. A non-drying cleanser that gently removes environmental pollutants, excess skin oils and make-up leaving skin feeling silky soft and smooth. Only a small amount of cleanser is needed each time, and a bottle lasts forever! |
 #6. derma e Vanilla Bean Cleansing Mousse
The most delicious smelling cleanser you have ever used. If you are a vanilla fan, this is the cleanser for you. It works wonderfully as well. This Ultimate Age-Defying cleanser is infused with Green Tea, Sea Kelp, soothing herbs and Pycnogenol. It is also extremely well-priced. |
In one of our articles, we stressed the importance of keeping acne-prone skin moisturized. The best moisturizers for acne-prone skin contain an ingredient called Hyaluronic Acid. Hyaluronic Acid is an amazing hydratant. The reason it is so great for acne-prone skin is because it keeps the skin extremely well hydrated, therefore reducing the skin’s urge to secrete additional oil.
We like the derma e Hyaluronic Acid creams due to the reasonable price-point.
