9. A gentle gel cleanser from Tower 28's SOS line that I've been using to wash off all my SPF and makeup this summer. Although it feels super lightweight, this cleanser makes everything on my face disintegrate, leaving my face feeling super clean without feeling dry afterward.
Promising review: "I love the entire T28 SOS line- especially the spray, which has helped so much with my clogged pores, so I was very excited for this release. Since I wear makeup/sunscreen almost every day, I oil cleanse almost daily as well, and it can be very stripping on my combination skin. I’ve replaced my oil cleanser with this gel cleanser, which works just as well to remove oils and makeup and is less drying, so I can use it both in the morning and at night. It is now a staple in my routine, and I use it daily with my SOS spray." —Isabella
