9 High Street Cleansers Rated By The Experts
Stocking up on skincare needn’t cost a fortune... From cult formulas to the under-the-radar high street brands to keep on your radar, we went straight to the experts to discover the affordable cleansing heroes they couldn’t be without.
First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads, £22
At just over £20, these genius pads are on the higher end of the high street scale, but are worth every penny if you’re after super-fast make-up removal and moisturising in one.
Fiona McIntosh, Co-Founder of Blow LTD
Weleda Almond Soothing Cleansing Lotion, £11.50
Ideal for sensitive skin, this mild, fragrance-free cleanser is my go-to. Organic almond and plum kernel oil are naturally moisturising, meaning skin is left feeling soft and clean.
Isobel Kennedy, make-up artist
Bio-Essence Miracle Bio Water Jelly Makeup Remover, £16
“This Singaporean gem is the gentlest make-up remover I’ve tried and it takes everything off without having to scrub or pull your delicate skin, which can cause slackness over time.”
Alexia Inge, Co-Founder of Cult Beauty
Super Facialist Sensitive Micellar Cleansing Gel, £8.99
With quenching coconut water and soothing aloe vera and arnica, this high street offering is my new hero. Formulated with micellar technology, it helps to balance and cleanse even the most sensitive of complexions.
Tor Cardona, SL Health & Beauty Editor
Garnier Oil-Infused Micellar Water, £5.99
Infused with skin-soothing oil, which works hard to remove stubborn make-up, this really is one of the best micellar waters I’ve ever used.
Fleur de Force, Beauty Blogger & YouTuber
La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Cleansing Gel, £12
If you struggle with blackheads and shine, look no further than this French pharmacy favourite – it gently lifts dirt and grime away from the skin for a clearer complexion.
Lillie Russo, make-up artist
Simple Cleansing Oil, £3.99
This is the cheapest, but also the best cleansing oil I've ever tried. It's completely non-comedogenic, so doesn't clog pores or aggravate acne. It does, however, leave skin soft and glowing.
Rosy Cherrington, SL Features Editor
La Roche-Posay Toleriane Dermo-Cleanser Sensitive Skin, £12.50
You can’t beat this cult formula – it’s ideal for skin prone to allergies and intolerances and gently sweeps away impurities without stripping away essential moisture.
Camilla Hewitt, make-up artist
Bioderma Sensibio H20, £10.80
There’s a reason this cult micellar water is found in the kit of make-up artists the world over. It works for all skin types – even the most sensitive – and can be used as an all-over cleanser or to correct smudges.
