Arguably one of the key steps in anyone's daily skincare routine, cleansers harness the job of banishing the likes of makeup, dirt, oil, sweat and dead skin cells from your complexion.

That said, as easy as it would be, it's not the case of one buy working for everyone. In fact, some formulas can feel harsher on more sensitive complexions, leaving the skin feeling stripped of all its natural moisture. This makes the task of scouting out the best cleanser, as someone with an irritation-prone skin, a tricky one.
