Dealing with Dryness? These Face Washes Are Gamechangers

If you have dry skin, setting your skin up for success starts with your cleanser. Using the wrong face wash can strip your skin of essential oils and moisture, so using a gentle formula with hydrating ingredients is key. From a hyaluronic acid-infused foam to a soothing formula with coconut oil, we’ve rounded up our favorite cleansers for dry skin that will ensure you’re  flake-free.

Garnier Green Labs Hyalu-Melon Smoothing Milky Wash

This vegan cleanser helps you achieve a bouncy, healthy complexion with watermelon extract and hyaluronic acid. The milky texture and natural watermelon scent solidify it as a winner in our book. 

CeraVe Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Facial Cleanser

CeraVe moisturizers are known for being sensitive skin-friendly and for strengthening the skin's moisture barrier. The brand’s cleansers are no different. Our new fave is this formula which contains ceramides, amino acids and hyaluronic acid and transforms from a nourishing cream to a light foam with water. 

Thayers pH Balancing Face Wash With Aloe Vera

Give your skin the boost of hydration it deserves with this pH-balancing daily cleanser. It has aloe vera and sodium hyaluronate to lock in moisture and give you a dewy, plump complexion.
