How to Choose Your Face Cleanser, Face Wash or Makeup Remover

For the best cleanser for dry skin, the Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish is the gold standard — its creamy, botanical formula nourishes as it cleanses, leaving dry skin soft and comfortable. The Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré and Douvall’s Organic Argan Nourishing Cream Cleanser are also excellent hydrating face wash options for dry and dehydrated skin. The Douvall’s All-in-One Organic Argan Oil Cleanser is a brilliant cleansing oil that doubles as a makeup remover for dry skin.

For the best face wash for oily skin or a non-comedogenic face cleanser, the SOME BY MI Super Matcha Pore Clean Cleansing Gel and AHA BHA PHA 30 Days Miracle Acne Clear Foam are both outstanding. For the best cleanser for sensitive skin, the Bioderma Sensibio Foaming Gel, Caudalie Vinoclean Micellar Cleansing Water and Thalgo Eveil à la Mer Micellar Cleansing Water are all dermatologist-recommended gentle cleansers. For eye makeup remover, the FILLMED Cleansing Oil, Caudalie Vinoclean Micellar Water and Embryolisse Micellar Lotion are all safe for use around the delicate eye area. For a foaming cleanser, the SOME BY MI Propolis B5 Oil-to-Foam and Caudalie Instant Foaming Cleanser both deliver a satisfying lather with skin-kind ingredients.

How to Double Cleanse for Best Results

Double cleansing is the gold standard for thorough makeup removal and deep cleansing. Start with an oil-based makeup remover — the FILLMED Cleansing Oil, Douvall’s Argan Oil Cleanser or SOME BY MI Propolis B5 Oil-to-Foam — to dissolve makeup, SPF and excess sebum. Follow with a water-based face wash or gel cleanser for a thorough second cleanse. Alternatively, use a micellar cleansing water on a cotton pad as a first step to remove eye makeup and surface impurities before your main face cleanser. The Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish works brilliantly as a second-cleanse step — massage in, then remove with the hot cloth for a deep-cleansed, glowing finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the best makeup remover for sensitive skin?
A: The Caudalie Vinoclean Micellar Cleansing Water, Bioderma Sensibio Foaming Gel and Embryolisse Micellar Lotion are our top picks for sensitive skin — all gentle, fragrance-free or low-fragrance formulas that effectively remove makeup without irritation.

Q: What is the best eye makeup remover?
A: The FILLMED Skin Perfusion Cleansing Oil, Caudalie Vinoclean Micellar Water and Embryolisse Micellar Lotion are all safe and effective eye makeup removers — gentle enough for the delicate eye area and effective at removing even waterproof mascara.

Q: What is micellar cleansing water and how do I use it?
A: Micellar cleansing water contains tiny micelle molecules that attract and lift dirt, oil and makeup from the skin without rinsing. Apply to a cotton pad and sweep gently over the face and eyes — no rinsing required. The Caudalie Vinoclean Micellar Cleansing Water and Thalgo Eveil à la Mer Micellar Cleansing Water are both excellent options.

Q: Do you offer free UK delivery on face cleansers?
A: Yes! All orders over £50 qualify for free UK delivery.

Q: What is the Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish like?
A: The Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser is a creamy, aromatic botanical face cleanser massaged into dry skin and removed with a warm, damp muslin cloth. The hot cloth action opens pores for a deep cleansing effect while the botanical formula — including eucalyptus, rosemary and cocoa butter — nourishes and softens. It is one of the UK’s most awarded cleansers and suits most skin types.
