"At this point in the game — my mid-30s — I can't be bothered with cleansers that leave a super-dry, tight feeling. I love that this gel-based formula foams up to give my complexion a thorough cleanse, but keeps the moisture balance in my skin."—Angela Melero, executive editor, TZR

Eve Lom
Cleanser
$85
$59
"I know I'm just washing my face but the act of using this balm feels like a mini self-care ritual that allows me to take a moment for myself. It gets rid of makeup and grime, and I don't need to use another cleanser thereafter; my skin feels clean and moisturized." —Kathy Lee, editor-in-chief, TZR

"Tatcha's cleansing oil is the first product that got me into skin care, and it’s been a nightly staple for years. It cuts through sunscreen and makeup but leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated. Massaging it into the skin also helps me depuff and get blood circulating." —Amanda Ross, beauty editor, TZR

Josie Maran
Argan Cleansing Oil
$36

"This cleanser instantly transports me to a spa-like place. The sulfate-free formula lathers into a creamy-feeling light foam and removes all traces of makeup in one go. The scent is what really seals the deal, though —one whiff and I'm instantly calmed." —Faith Xue, executive beauty director, BDG

"I've finally found a cleanser that doesn't leave my skin feeling dry and tight. The Outset’s Gentle Micellar Antioxidant Cleanser is so nourishing and doesn't suck the moisture from my skin. It even helps remove any mascara that I miss with my makeup remover." — Maggie H, sr. social media strategist, TZR

"This face wash from U Beauty is the only one I've tried that makes my skin feel softer after cleansing. Despite being so gentle and hydrating, the creamy formula effectively rinses away dirt, oil, makeup, and sunscreen – no scrubbing required." — Erin Lukas, deputy beauty editor, TZR
