"Despite residing here for the last eight years, my combination skin still can't seem to grasp the atrocity that is the New York City subway system in Summer. Like clockwork, it overproduces just about everything: sweat, oil, anxiety. The only thing keeping all of that from turning into breakouts, though, is the Caudalie Vinopure Pore Purifying Gel Cleanser ($28). It's loaded with pore-clearing salicylic acid and soothing grape water, so the only time you'll spot any redness on my face is minutes before I step onto the 6 train." — KC
