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.

For People Who Have Better Things to Do Than Wash Their Face
The Body Shop Nutriganics Softening Cleansing Gel is like a magic eraser for makeup, but a word of caution if you have sensitive eyes: The blend of fragrances, though they smell pretty, can be a bit irritating. The babassu oil used in the formula comes from the nuts of the babassu palm tree in Brazil, and the aloe hails from central Guatemala. Both are community fair trade and organic. They're also the reason why makeup practically slides off of skin, which stays calm and moisturized.
