For Added Insurance in Your Anti-Aging Regimen
If you're the kind of girl who scours labels for anti-aging ingredients, make Algenist Genius Ultimate Anti-Aging Melting Cleanser a part of your routine. The gel is packed with alguronic acid, which firms and tones skin, along with microalgae oil, a relative newcomer to the anti-aging game that keeps skin hydrated five times longer than normal. And the formula is soap-free, which means it imparts all these benefits while being extra-gentle on sensitive skin.

For Your Daily Dose of Vitamin C
Ole Henriksen Pure Truth Melting Cleanser is packed with vitamin C, rosehip oil and virgin cherry oil; these brighten, repair and hydrate, respectively. The scoop-able consistency is similar to Jell-O (If you tap the container, it bounces), and it luxuriously melts into skin, clearing away makeup without over-drying skin. After rinsing, a light layer of hydrating oil is left behind that feels nourishing but not greasy.

If Your Skin Needs a Little R&R
The lotion-like consistency of Nude Perfect Cleanse Omega Cleansing Jelly feels just as good as your most luxurious face cream. The formula is chock-full of skin-soothing ingredients (orange extract, sunflower seed extract and annatto seed extract, to name a few). In fact, the first ingredient is sunflower seed oil (as opposed to water), so you can be assured that it's potent.

If You Want to Stay Matte
Most cleansers that promise to leave skin matte are harsh and stripping; Elemis Melting Gel Cleanser is the opposite. The spicy orange-scented formula is blended with sunflower seed oil, which is packed with skin-hydrating vitamin E -- this helps keep the oil-zapping formula from over-drying skin. It should be noted that it wasn't designed to remove eye makeup, but it does an excellent job of clearing away foundation, blush and bronzer.

If You Like Your Face Wash as Clean As Your Food
Evolve Gentle Cleansing Melt has a thick, gooey texture that rinses off easily without leaving a greasy film. It's 100 percent organic, vegan and natural -- no harsh preservatives here. Natural sugars rinse away makeup and help dry skin feel hydrated and soft. Bonus: it smells warm and cozy, like vanilla.
