Cleansers are at the core of any good skin care regimen. By selecting noncomedogenic formulations (without ingredients such as sodium laureth sulfate or isopropyl myristate), and hydrating ones, they can help keep your face clear and free of breakouts.
Anna Chacon is a double board-certified dermatologist and recommends using a cleanser containing salicylic acid, which works to keep oil production under control. This one does just that while providing skin barrier-replenishing niacinamide and moisture-boosting hyaluronic acid for added benefit.
