Hydrating Cleanser

A hydrating cleanser removes dirt, oil and makeup while helping the skin retain moisture, instead of leaving it feeling tight or stripped. This collection brings together face washes, balms and foams designed for daily use, from well-known dermocosmetic names to lightweight makeup-removing formats.

How to choose a hydrating cleanser

Texture is usually the first thing to consider. The CERAVE Hydrating Cleanser Normal to Dry Skin is a milky, non-foaming formula often chosen by people with normal to dry skin who want a wash that doesn't leave a stripped feeling afterward. If you go through cleanser quickly or want to stock up, the BUY 1 GET 1 CERAVE Hydrating Cleanser 473ml + 236ml bundle pairs a larger bottle with a travel-friendly size, and you can browse more formats in the wider Cerave Cleanser range or the full CERAVE collection.

For those who prefer an oil-based first cleanse, THE ORDINARY Squalane Cleanser Hydrating Makeup Remover is built to dissolve makeup and surface impurities before a second cleanse. The BIO BALANCE Hello Clean Deep Hydrating Cleansing Balm works on a similar principle in a balm texture that melts on contact with skin. If foaming formulas suit your routine better, the REVUELE Hydrating Cleansing Foam offers a lighter, airy wash for everyday use.

Picking the right cleanser for your skin

Beyond CeraVe, The Ordinary, Bio Balance and Revuele, this collection also includes options such as OILATUM Intense Hydrating Cleanser, GESKE Hydrating Cleanser and FACE FACTS Ceramide Hydrating Gentle Cleanser, giving you a range of textures and formats to try. If you are also looking at exfoliating or blemish-focused washes, you may want to check the broader Cleanser collection or the Dermocosmetic range for pharmacy-brand options, and the Face Care Products collection for complementary steps in a routine.

When narrowing down a choice, think about how your skin usually feels after cleansing, whether you wear makeup or SPF that needs removing, and whether you prefer a rinse-off, foam, or balm format. Always check the product label for the full ingredient list and directions, and speak with a pharmacist if you are unsure which formula suits your skin type or if you have a specific skin concern.
