"One of the best ways to get the most bang for your buck on a cleanser is to choose one with glycolic acid and I recommend the Mario Badescu Glycolic Foaming Cleanser to many of my patients," says board-certified dermatologist Dr. Rhonda Klein, MD, FAAD. "Glycolic acid is an alpha-hydroxy that penetrates skin cells to exfoliate, making way for new, fresh skin cells to surface. It is also a powerhouse multi-tasker that reduces both fine lines and acne, a common pair of issues for many adult women."

"Great for those with oily and acne-prone skin, this creamy formulation foams with washing," says Dr. Heidi Prather, board-certified dermatologist, Westlake Dermatology, Austin, TX. "Salicylic acid breaks up the dead skins cells on the surface of the skin and penetrates into the sebaceous glands to keep acne at bay."

"Micellar water helps streamline the skin care routine and may be a good replacement for cleansers and makeup remover for many individuals," says Dr. Sonam Yadav, MD, Medical Director, JUVERNE. "It is best for dry and sensitive skin, rosacea or acne-prone skin, but may not be adequate alone for oily and acne-ridden skin and works well as a first cleanse."
