12 Best Face Washes for Oily Skin to Keep Shine at Bay




 

1. CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser

BEST OVERALL FACE WASH FOR OILY SKIN

Foaming Facial Cleanser

Touting viral fame and dermatologist approval, CeraVe skincare keeps flying off the shelf — this foaming facial cleanser, included. GH Senior Chemist Danusia Wnek found that it lathered and cleansed skin well without abandoning skin of moisture. No potentially irritating fragrances are found here, either. Only the brand’s staple ceramides, plus hyaluronic acid and niacinamide. “My skin felt clean but not tight,” Wnek says. Plus, it comes in mini sizes perfect for travel.




 

2. Garnier SkinActive Micellar Foaming Face Wash

BEST VALUE FACE WASH FOR OILY SKIN

Long lauded for its ability to gently remove dirt, makeup and impurities, micellar water now comes in the revolutionary form of a foaming cleanser. Safe for the face, lips and eyes, this face wash also helps regulate oil. One reviewer writes: “I have pretty oily skin, and it’s so gentle on my skin, removing the harsh oils without making my face dry.”
