Fruit acids provide anti-bacterial properties to deeply clean and rebalance skin. Gentle enough for daily use, it's a refreshing way to remove oil, pollution and product build up, without drying or leaving skin feeling tight.
And this is a great option for those who don’t want to spend a fortune on skincare, coming in at an affordable $16!
If you want something dermatologist-approved.
Dermalogica Breakout Clearing Foaming Wash- $42.00
If you are wanting something dermatologist approved, look no further than Dermalogica’s Breakout Clearing Foaming Wash.
This breakout-fighting cleanser clears away dead skin cells, dirt and excess oils that clog pores and cause breakouts.
Gentle, non-stripping formula is safe for use daily am + pm. It’s also safe to be used as a breakout body wash on the neck, chest or back...wherever skin requires deep cleaning and pore clearing for fewer breakouts.
I’ve been using this cleanser for the last six months and whenever I get a hormonal breakout, the cleanser helps to clear it up in a matter of days.
If you want natural and NZ made.
Holy Moly Face Wash - $32.00
New Zealand is filled with so many wonderful natural ingredients that have amazing super powers!
This gel foaming face wash is ideal for teens to leave your skin feeling clean and soft.
With manuka and tea tree oils to help reduce redness and annoying spots and blemishes, this plant-powered face wash won't strip your skin and can be used every day.
Manuka honey is great at keeping skin soft and smells pretty good too. Tea tree and kawakawa essential oils are little plant superstars working together in harmony. Used in traditional healing as a skin healer, they reduce redness, help keep any baddies away from your face and keep your skin looking everyday awesome.
If you where make-up regularly.
Oxygen Skincare Crème Cleanser - $31.50
This cleanser doubles as the perfect make-up remover, to make your skin feel alive and hydrated without stripping away natural oils.
Packed with hydrating, natural apricot and jojoba oil to create an effective yet mild face cleanser suitable for even the most dehydrated, irritated and sensitive of skins.
Although it’s good to use something like Micellar Water or make-up remover before cleansing, this crème cleanser is great at doing the job too when used with a warm damp face cloth.
If you are battling acne.

If you are battling acne, you may need a specially formulated cleanser.
Do Your Thing is a multi-tasking gel cleanser, perfect for controlling oil without drying skin. This will help get all the oily gunk out but unlike acne products from a decade ago, this won’t dry out your skin.
AHAs and BHA provide a gentle exfoliant to penetrate and unclog the pores of oil and surface build-up visibly diminishing blackheads and breakouts. Niacinamide keeps skin hydrated while visibly reducing inflammation.
