Water Based Cleansers for Different Skin Types Under $20
Water based cleansers are essentially cleansers that remove water based impurities like sweat and dirt, while oil based cleansers break down oil based impurities like makeup and SPF. I cannot stress enough the importance of double cleansing because there really is no product out there that can effectively do both at once (even though a lot of cleansers claim they can). A solid water based cleanser is soap-free, non-irritating and non-stripping. Check out a few recommended cleansers below that are great for each skin type and best of all, quite affordable!
CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser – Acne Prone Skin
If you are someone that suffers from acne and breakouts, the Cerave Renewing Salicylic Acid Cleanser is a must! Salicylic acid helps clear acne by exfoliating the skin and penetrating it to clear up clogged pores. This cleanser softens and helps restore the skin’s natural barrier with three essential ceramides, hydrates with hyaluronic acid and soothes the skin with niacinamide. These are all non irritating ingredients and does wonders in protecting and improving the skin. It is considered a very clean product and free of fragrance. It comes with 237ml of product and priced around $11.99
KraveBeauty Matcha Hemp Hydrating Cleanser – Sensitive Skin
If you are someone with sensitive skin, you need to be cautious about the ingredients that are in your skincare products. You cannot just pick the most popular or trendy products that your friends and favorite celebrities use, you need to listen to your skin and understand what ingredients are and are not harmful. The Matcha Hemp Hydrating cleanser is amazing for essentially all skin types, but especially those with sensitive skin. It is packed with antioxidants, which helps skin repair itself, and is very gentle so it will not overly strip your skin and leave it with a dry or tight feeling. Key ingredients in this cleanser is matcha and hemp seed oil. Matcha is rich in antioxidants and hydrating for the skin while Hemp seed oil has antibacterial properties that help soothe inflammation. This cleanser is free of harmful alcohols, vegan-friendly, cruelty-free, sulfate free, paraben free and formulated without fragrance and essential oil. It has a very clean ingredient list and overall a very simple and effective cleanser which is needed for those with sensitive skin. It has a gel like consistency, comes with 120ml of product and priced at $16.
CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser – Oily Skin
Those with oily skin produce excess sebum. Sebum is the waxy, oily substance that protects and hydrates the skin. However, when you have too much sebum, it can lead to oily skin, clogged pores, and acne. The CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser is great at getting deep into the pores to remove dirt, oil, and makeup. It is formulated with hyaluronic acid to help retain the skin's natural moisture and niacinamide to help calm skin. It will immensely help in pore reduction and oil control. It has a gel to foam consistency, 355ml of products and affordably priced at $10.99.
La Roche Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Face Cleanser – Dry Skin
If you have dry skin, you should look for products that are creamy, moisturizing and soothing to the skin. Ingredients like glycerin and hyaluronic acid are very beneficial for those that are more dry because it draws water to the surface of the skin. The La Roche Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Face Cleanser is really great for dry skin as it is infused with Prebiotic Thermal Water which helps reinforce the natural water retention barrier in dry skin by promoting moisturization. It also has Ceramide-3, Niacinamide & Glycerin. Is Soap-free, sulfate-free, paraben-free and fragrance-free, and even great for the most sensitive skin types. This cleanser has a milky, creamy texture, has 400ml of product and reasonably priced at $14.99.
Simple Micellar Gel Wash – Combination Skin
Combination skin can be a bit complicated to understand because there are so many different forms of combination skin, but what seems to be the most common is an oily t-zone and more drier skin everywhere else. I would recommend finding products that are marketed to all skin types so it’s hydrating while still providing proper oil control. The Simple Micellar Gel Wash is a really great cleanser with a simple and gentle ingredient list that is non irritating and non stripping to the skin. It is infused with skin-essential minerals and plant extract that delivers instant hydration AND gentle yet effective cleansing – great for even sensitive skin. It is a gel formulation, has 148mL of product and priced at about $5.00.
