The Best Drugstore Facial Cleansers Under $15

Let’s call it the cult-classic cleanser. Famously gentle on skin, this liquid cleanser is ideal for anyone with combination or oily skin, and it rings in at only $10.

Ideal for sensitive skin, Simple’s micellar water traps oil and dirt in micelles bubbles and sweeps the gunk off your skin. Soak a cotton pad in the clear liquid and gently wipe it over your skin. If you wear a lot of makeup, you might need to do two rounds or double cleanse.

Your grandmother wasn’t messing around when she suggested this beauty buy. Half moisturizer, half cleanser, you’ll watch your makeup melt off your face when this cold cream makes contact. Apply to your face with clean hands, gently rub, and remove with a damp wash cloth or a tissue—a little goes a very long way.

Garnier made a big move when the brand formulated a $9 cleanser that was free of alcohol, sulfates, soap, oil, and fragrance.

You shouldn’t have to worry about your cleanser consistently drying out your skin. Neutrogena solved that issue with this gel-based cleanser that’s spiked with hyaluronic acid to keep moisture levels up while effectively removing face makeup and excess oil.
