It's Official: These Are the Best Exfoliating Face Washes for Every Budget
Our morning skincare routine is anything but simple—serums, eye creams, and moisturizers abound. So, when we see a chance to condense our routine by way of two-in-one products, we are more than willing to give them a try. And, while we’ve had our fair share of multitasking fails, we’ve found that a cleansing-and-exfoliating combination is foolproof. Which is why we’ve rounded up nine of the best exfoliating face washes to help you simplify your morning routine.
Whether you have sensitive skin, a combination complexion, or a tendency toward acne, we’ve compiled the best exfoliating face washes for all skin types. Have delicate, dry skin? Consider Dr. Hauschka’s hydrating formula made with soothing chamomile and almond. Or, perhaps your skin runs on the oilier side. If that happens to be the case, Obagi’s purifying cleanser will likely do the trick. For our nine favorite face washes that both cleanse and exfoliate, click through the gallery below.
