A cleanser is an essential part of any skincare routine. For those with acne and blemish-prone skin, cleansing is especially important, helping to decongest blocked pores, combat active breakouts, and reveal a more radiant complexion. We have curated an edit of 10 of the best cleansers for acne to help calm, clear and clarify your complexion.

Without stripping the skin of its natural moisture, a cleanser for acne-prone skin should penetrate deep into the pores to address the underlying causes of blemishes and breakouts, particularly excess sebum, bacteria and build-up of dead skin cells.  

Whether you have dry, normal, oily or combination skin, these cleansers will be sure to target your active breakouts and help prevent future spots and blemishes.
