Cleansing sets the stage for everything else that takes place on skin. Getting this step right every time ensures you're getting the most out of your skin care routine. Whether you need a cleanser for acne-prone skin to erase pore-clogging impurities, a soothing cleanser to calm redness, an oil-reducing cleanser to balance, or a hydrating cleanser to combat flaking, we have the right facial cleanser for you.
Clear Your Skin With Paula's Choice Face Wash and Cleansers
What do Facial Cleansers do?
Facial cleansers help remove sebum, dirt, pollutants, and makeup from the skin, preventing the clogging of pores and microbial proliferation, which can lead to acne. By maintaining clean skin, cleansers help to optimise the epidermal barrier function and reduce the incidence of skin disorders.
How do Facial Cleansers work?
Facial cleansers use surfactants, which are compounds that bind to water and oil molecules. When applied to the skin, surfactants emulsify the oils that hold dirt and impurities, allowing them to be washed away with water. Additionally, some cleansers may contain emollients that help preserve the skin's hydrolipidic film, promoting a balanced skin microbiome and pH.

Cleansing Oil
A cleansing oil dissolves makeup, excess oil, and impurities without disrupting the skin's natural barrier. Our Perfect Cleansing Oil is formulated with coconut, jojoba, and grape seed oils, known for their hydrating and soothing properties. Gentle cleansing agents efficiently wash the face, while shea butter adds a layer of moisture to prevent dryness, making it ideal for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
Hydrating Cleanser
Hydrating cleansers help cleanse the skin while maintaining its natural moisture. Our RESIST Optimal Results Hydrating Cleanser contains soapberry extract, known for its gentle cleansing properties, and green tea and chamomile, which soothe and reduce irritation. Additionally, we also have DEFENSE Hydrating Gel-to-Cream Cleanser which transitions from a gel to a creamy texture. It consists of liquorice root and green tea for soothing, along with aloe and amino acids to support the skin’s natural resilience, promoting a balanced and hydrated complexion.
Oil-reducing Cleanser
Oil-reducing cleansers balance sebum levels without over-drying the skin. For this, we have our SKIN BALANCING Oil-Reducing Cleanser, based on a coconut-derived formula. This cleanser effectively removes excess oil, while glycerin and aloe extract provide necessary hydration and soothe the skin.
Softening Cream Cleanser
Softening cream cleansers are great for dry or sensitive skin as they cleanse without stripping the skin of moisture. Our SKIN RECOVERY Softening Cream Cleanser features a gentle, coconut-derived cleansing base that offers thorough cleansing. Chamomile and beta-glucan soothe and calm irritated skin while promoting a soft, smooth texture, making it the best face wash for those needing extra care in their cleansing routine.
