Below are the favorite moisturizers and washes that our staffers liked the best for being both effective and gentle.

The foam is really light and soft and left my skin feeling super clean (but not tight).

Its not as moisturizing as the cream cleanser, obviously, but overall I really liked it.

I love that it’s notan oxybenzone (chemical) sunscreen.

you might pretty much lather up your whole body with it, head to toe, in the shower.

It refreshes without making my skin feel dry and tight.

I like the soapiness of it, too.

It has a good balance of suds and bubbles, in comparison toother gentle cleansersIve tried.

It also has a clean smell that is hard to describe.

It smells Frenchlike a cool and warm refreshing smell, but more on the warmer side.

It kinda smells like a chic old lady.

It seeped into my skin easily and didn’t leave an oily residue.

My skin still felt soft five hours after applying and walking in the cold.

It’s instantly moisturizing and exceeded my expectations.

The product also containshyaluronic acid, which works to lock in water and provide that hydrated effect.
