10 Cleansers for a Clean Skin

Being a Parisian means surviving daily pollution and stress. The result? Skin screaming S.O.S.! We all know everything starts with a flawless cleanse, but finding the right texture is a real hassle. Oil, foam, balm, milk… How do you choose? Search no more! At the editorial team, we tested the best face cleansers of the moment so you can finally find your perfect routine and your favorite texture.

Orveda is the brand that saves us when our skin cries S.O.S. We found their latest treasure: a gentle clay cleansing powder with a double action, cleansing and exfoliating. It removes makeup residue and especially pollutionaccumulated after wandering all day. Its base of purifying green clay, combined with fruit powders (apricot, papaya…), gives a fresh skin effect. Use it with the provided sponge for a healthier and glowing complexion.

Yes, micellar waters have known their bad buzz — accused of only removing makeup without truly cleansing — and yet we had a big crush on this one from Payot. Refreshing, its formula with probiotics and glycolic acid rebalances the skin’s flora, especially if your skin is acting up. The perfect first step to ensure a clean skin before the real cleansing.

Attention to fragile skin that needs softness! For a cleansing that turns into a true moment of pleasure, we found the perfect cleansing milk at Milk. This vegan cleanser is pure comfort for the skin. Made with plant milks (fig, oat) and shea butter, it soothes and softens instantly. It gently cleanses, hydrates, and offers antioxidant protection. Cleansing + hydration in one step.

We’re obsessed with mousse formulas, and Krème found the miracle solution for our lazy nights! This genius 2-in-1 is perfect when all you want is your bed. On top: a makeup-removing milk with probiotics and organic sweet almond to soothe. At the bottom: a detoxifying cleansing foam with French spirulina. The express mousse that saves your nights — especially if you can’t stand drinking spirulina!

Acne is a plague. To say CIAO to imperfections, we found the perfect cleanser: the Anti-Imperfections Creamy Jelly Cleanser by Byoma. It protects the skin barrier while targeting blemishes from sebum to marks. Its secret? A top formula (salicylic acid, bakuchiol) that soothes stressed skin. And best of all: its small price that won’t ruin your wallet. A must-have!

If dehydrated skin is a battle, oily skin can be chaos! Pariderm offers the solution: a soap-free foam for morning and night. Our favorite to eliminate excess sebum and tighten pores. Tip: insist on the T-zone (nose, chin, forehead). You’ll see the difference, especially under makeup.

Calling all balm lovers! myBlend reveals the 3-in-1 makeup remover we’ve been dreaming of. Take a small amount and watch the magic: balm → oil → milk. It removes makeup deeply, even the wildest looks, while purifying the skin. Guaranteed: perfectly clean skin and zero leftover mascara.

K-skincare has invaded our feeds — and yes, we’re jealous of their perfect skin! We tested one of their secrets: Laneige’s gentle cleanser. In the morning, one pump is enough to cleanse away night residues. The goal? Cleanse + hydrate. Skin is glowy and ready to head to work with that extra glow.

For oil-cleanser fans, we’re inspired by Swedish natural beauty with this L:a Bruket gem. The ritual becomes a zen moment: warm it in your hands on dry skin, and it turns into a milk for deep cleansing. Sea buckthorn regenerates, sea aster soothes — everything is removed gently. And its relaxing scent makes every night feel like a spa moment.

We saw it everywhere on social media, we caved, we tested… and we LOVED it! This cult Avocado Ceramide cleanser by Glow Recipe is a real banger that hydrates deeply. This balm cleans anything your skin has absorbed during the day — makeup included. A small amount becomes a light foam and balances hydration. The star of our routine — and it’s vegan…
