Finding the right skin care products that work best for you can be a hard task, especially if you’re prone to dryness. Cleansers are particularly tricky for those of us with dry skin and it’s important to look for products with moisturising properties, so they don’t strip your skin of its natural moisture. But fear not, we’re here to help (and so are the bh members!). Here are their top 10 cleansers for dry-skinned beauties.

Avène TriXéra + Selectiose Emollient Cleansing Gel
“I bought this cleansing gel for my son and I was pleasantly surprised to find that it didn’t exacerbate his eczema. The formula is thick, almost like a thick oil (but not sticky) and it provided a soft lather. A little goes a looong way. My son’s skin feels really soft. ” – TIE807
BIODERMA Sensibio H2O
“This product is truly AMAZING and lives up to all the hype! I used this to remove face, eye and lip make-up! No stingy, blurriness or rashes! It appears like water but the performance is EYE OPENING! I definitely recommend, it is gentle and extremely effective!” – Elefante
Swisspers Facial Cleansing Wipes 25s
“I really, really like these make-up wipes. They smell soooo good and are ideal for sensitive skin – you can wipe your face over and over and wipe all around your eyes and it won’t sting, irritate or dry your skin out.” – beautylover_23
Clearasil Daily Clear Oil-Free Daily Gel Wash
“This is definitely my ‘go-to’ cleanser because it’s cheap, works well and doesn’t dry out my skin. It contains salicylic acid which means it helps to clear blackheads (a big problem for my skin) and it foams up nicely so it feels good to use on the skin, too. I use it morning and night followed by a light moisturiser and it doesn’t strip away my skin which I found that most cheap cleansers usually do.” – CityLights
Dermalogica PreCleanse
“I adore this oil cleanser. Although my first impression was that the plant smell wasn’t the most pleasant, it was bearable and not noticeable after washing it off. It applies as a clear, thick gel texture, but once you add water it becomes a milky texture. It dissolves make-up extremely well, and feels quite gentle – no stinging eyes! After washing the product off, my skin felt clean but not stripped.” – Athy
QV Face Gentle Cleanser
“It is a lightweight, creamy, unscented cleanser. I find it best to dampen my face first, and then massage the cleanser into my skin, before rinsing off. It leaves my skin feeling clean and free of make-up, but without that drying feeling you sometimes get.” – lauratough
Aveeno Positively Radiant Cleanser
“I’m a big fan of this cleanser and it’s always a go-to when I can’t afford my more expensive brands. It gets rid of all make-up and leaves your face feeling fresh and not dry at all.” – Courts5487
NIVEA Pure & Natural Cleansing Lotion
“I loved the creamy yet silky consistency of this product, it made for easy and even application. It’s perfect for removing make-up (even gentle enough for some eye make-up) or as a morning cleanser to freshen up the skin. It left my skin feeling so soft and smooth without being dry or greasy in places, which other products fail to do.” – naomi921
Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser
“I have a lot of pimples and I have tried a lot of cleansers, [but] this one is by far the best. I use it every day. It does not have any harsh chemicals and works great for my skin. Anyone who is looking for [a] gentle and affordable cleanser [–] this is it.” – Sina
Sukin Foaming Facial Cleanser
“This was the first ever cleanser I started using and I have tried many since, even the most expensive cleansers but I always came back to this one. I found using this with my ultimate skin spa system left my skin feeling soft, clear and clean every day. With the natural ingredients and amazing fresh smell I found that this product worked best with my skin, it always feels so clean afterwards and never tight or dry.” – Annierosee
