Honorable Mention: Dermalogica Clear Start Breakout Clearing Foaming Wash
Readers' Choice Winner: Aveeno Ultra Calming Foaming Cleanser
Why: "The only cleanser that is mild AND actually works to wash away makeup and dirt. My face is not super sensitive, but can be red sometimes, so I like to use mild cleansers without fragrance. This one is amazing. I have been using it for a couple of years now. I also recommended it to my roommate who has really dry, itchy and red skin. Even she swears by this stuff."
