When the weather rapidly fluctuates (as it frequently does in Manhattan), my skin freaks out. I end up with small bumps all over my chin and a few on my forehead, and I have to load up on foundation. I almost always wash my face with an acne-fighting wash, but I decided to seek out some product reviews online to banish this issue for good. I headed to the Sephora Beauty Insider Community for some cleanser recommendations.

Through my research, I've settled on a few great cleansers to turn to when you're struggling with breakouts. Through exfoliation, acne-fighting ingredients, and gentle moisturisers, these products will get your skin back to a calmer state.
