clarins

Clarins One-Step Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser with Orange Extract, £20.50, available at clarins.co.uk

If your skin is in need of an extra boost of pampering, this scrub is a must-have in your beauty bag. This cleanser also works as an exfoliator, so not only does it remove make-up and leave the skin soft and luminous, but it works to get rid of embedded impurities so your complexion's healthy glow shines through.

loccitane

L'Occitane Angelica Cleansing Gel, £18, available at loccitane.com

We're huge fans of this fresh gel which transforms into a light and airy foam when you mix it with water. While it's suitable for all skin types, we love the way it leaves our skin feeling clean and hydrated, for a radiant and soft complexion.

kiehls

Kiehl's Washable Cleansing Milk, £18, available at kiehls.co.uk

If you're looking for a gentle way to cleanse dry skin that's also a bit sensitive, this is the product for you. Not only does this cleansing milk remove light make-up, it also has a non-lathering and moisturising formula to help keep your skin looking as healthy as ever.

elizabetharden

Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Cleansing Face Oil 195ml, £25, available at elizabetharden.co.uk

This oil has become one of our beauty heroes - as soon as it comes into contact with water, it effortlessly removes even the most stubborn of make-up such as waterproof mascara, as well as getting rid of impurities without stripping the skin of its moisture.

clinique

Clinique Redness Solutions Soothing Cleanser 150ml, £18, available at clinique.co.uk

If you're left with dry, red skin, then this extra-gentle cleanser may be the answer. Its non-drying cream-gel formula gently melts away make-up and impurities, calming the appearance of visible redness and preserving the skin's moisture – plus, as a bonus, it also provides mild exfoliation!

estee

Estée Lauder Perfectly Clean Multi-Action Crème Cleanser/Moisture Mask, £22.50, available at esteelauder.co.uk

If you're often pressed for time, this multi-tasking beauty hero is for you. It can be used as a daily cleanser, or twice a week as a three-minute moisture mask – either way, your skin is left feeling soft, smooth and supple.

elemis

Elemis Supersize Rehydrating Rosepetal Cleanser 400ml, £38.50, available at elemis.com

If you're constantly on the go, you need a cleanser that can effectively remove the daily build-up of skin pollutants, as these are what leave your skin dehydrated. Luckily, this smooth cleanser works to purify, soothe and calm the skin – and we love its luscious rose petal scent.

lancome

Lancôme Tonique Douceur, £23, available at Lancome.co.uk

This lotion is enriched with plant extracts to gently cleanse and tone the skin, not to mention it leaves it feeling soft and hydrated. Plus, with its alcohol-free formula it's ideal if you're trying to give your skin a detox.

rodial

Rodial Stemcell Super-food Cleanser, £32, available at rodial.co.uk

Perfect for a pampering night in, this dual-action cream facial cleanser and mask work to provide instant relief to dehydrated complexion and give it a boost of radiance, while improving cell vitality to protect against future damage – the ultimate combination!

simple

Simple Kind to Skin Vital Vitamin Foaming Cleanser, £4.49, available at boots.com

We're huge fans of this budget-friendly cleanser, which cleanses and refreshes the skin. There's no artificial perfume or colour so it's great if your skin is also quite sensitive – simply massage gently and then rinse off to remove impurities and make-up.
