What we say: Already a big fan of foam cleansers, our tester was interested to see if this formula would fall flat like some foam iterations seem to.

After dispensing a few pumps of the foam, she found it stayed light and airy in her hand, allowing for the foaming cleanser to be applied smoothly onto skin. The scent-free cleanser was perfect for our tester’s double-cleansing routine, she reports. Overall, it’s gentle yet effective, she says.

It effectively removed the day’s dirt and makeup without stripping skin, and rinsed away leaving a smooth, clean feel. Whether used on its own or as part of a two-step cleansing routine with another cleanser, our tester has subbed this foaming cleanser into her daily rotation.

Where to get it: Sephora, iliabeauty.com

What it will cost you: $42.
