7 Face Cleansers From Sephora Our Editors Love — All Under $25

28/05/2020 - 10:35 PM

It's safe to say, as beauty editors, we've tried a lot of different face-wash formulas [1] in our lifetimes. After all, even if we skip makeup [2] or opt out of lengthy skin-care routines, we are still washing our faces daily [3]. (Yes, especially before bed. [4]) There are some we've stayed loyal to throughout the years, or others we've sampled on a whim . . . then restocked again and again.

In the name of community, we've picked out seven face washes we love for a range of skin types. Oh, and best yet? Every single one is less than $25. Whether your skin is dry [5], sensitive, or what you'd call normal (most of the time [6], anyway), see which face cleansers from Sephora [7] get our stamp of approval ahead — and read our reviews, too.

Farmacy Mini Green Clean Makeup Meltaway Cleansing Balm

Item: Farmacy Mini Green Clean Makeup Meltaway Cleansing Balm [8] ($22)

What our editor said: "I need something that's gentle enough to not cause breakouts but potent enough to remove my makeup, and I finally found it in the Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm.

Now, cleansing balms are usually everything I used to avoid in a cleanser. They are thick and normally leave a film-like feeling on my skin that's not ideal. This one, though, is different. It strikes the delicate balance of powerful yet gentle, and I can always rely on it to take off my makeup after a long day. It removes just about anything without that tight, film feeling." — India Yaffe, assistant editor, Shop

Fresh Mini Soy Makeup Removing Face Wash

Item: Fresh Mini Soy Makeup Removing Face Wash [10] ($15)

What our editor said: "There was something different about the Fresh Soy Face Wash that got me hooked. Yes, it's a gel, and yes, my skin has been known to get tight and dehydrated after using a gel, but this is somehow creamy and moisturising. The second the lightweight gel mixes with water, it forms a buttery soap that grips onto makeup and oil fast. All it takes is a few splashes of water to rinse away everything — without leaving behind an awkward residue to boot. On my heavier makeup days, I tend to double cleanse, but on lighter makeup days, one rinse of this stuff is plenty." — Samantha Sasso, associate editor, Native Beauty

Philosophy Purity Made Simple Cleanser

Item: Philosophy Purity Made Simple Cleanser [12] ($24)

What our editor said: "The first cleanser I ever used was the Philosophy Purity Made Simple Cleanser, and I still go back to it. It's an old faithful, and it's one that all my friends are happy to use as well. You'll never regret this one." — IY

Olehenriksen Mini Truth Juice Daily Cleanser

Item: Olehenriksen Mini Truth Juice Daily Cleanser [14] ($12)

What our editor said: "Like a tall glass of freshly-squeezed OJ, the Ole Henriksen Truth Juice Daily Cleanser is the most refreshing thing you can give your skin first thing in the morning. Not only does it use orange fruit water to revive skin, but also polyhydroxy acids to lift away dirt and oil for truly the deepest cleanse your pores can imagine." — SS

Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Intensive Pore Exfoliating Treatment Mini

Item: Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Intensive Pore Exfoliating Treatment Mini [16] ($24)

What our editor said: "A couple times a week, I make time for this Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Intensive Pore Exfoliating Treatment . . . a cleanser--peel-scrub-mask hybrid that gets my face super clean. Sure, the first time I saw its grass green colour, I was taken aback, but my skin looks and feels so great afterward, I don't even care about that." — Morgan Ashley Parker, contributing editor, Beauty

Fresh Sugar Strawberry Exfoliating Face Wash Mini

Item: Fresh Sugar Strawberry Exfoliating Face Wash Mini [20] ($15)

What our editor said: "While I usually opt for chemical exfoliants like AHAs and BHAs rather than physical ones, the fine texture of this [Sugar Strawberry Exfoliating Face Wash] was gentle enough that I decided to make an exception. Another perk? It smells simply delicious." — Sarah Siegel, assistant editor, Beauty
