Dr. Nazarian is a massive fan of this drugstore face wash because it’s incredibly effective. “This cleanser combines vitamin C with vitamin B3, which is one of my favorite hydrating vitamins because it improves skin tone and helps strengthen the skin barrier, so together they make a great combination,” she says.
Testing notes: “The vitamin C in this cleanser does its job in bringing out a natural glow,” says Glamour senior analyst Loneeja Talukdar, who has sensitive skin. “My face feels smooth, refreshed, and visibly brighter after each use. Plus, it didn’t irritate my skin or trigger any breakouts, which is always a concern for me with active ingredients. Overall, it’s a great option if you’re looking for something that not only helps with dullness and uneven texture, but also supports acne-prone skin without being harsh. I’d highly recommend it if you want a glow boost in your daily routine.”

Another favorite of Dr. Nazarian’s, this rich cleanser is great if you have oily or acne-prone skin. “It combines vitamin C with two other antioxidants—vitamin A and vitamin E—for added protection and hydration. ” she says.
Testing notes: “This cleanser is so gentle and doesn’t leave my skin dry or tight after washing. If you have extremely dry or sensitive skin, this will keep your barrier hydrated after washing. I bring this one into my rotation when my skin feels irritated. I wish there were more suds from lathering, though, because I have to use more product than my other cleansers and micellar water to get rid of my eye shadow,” says Glamour senior commerce editor Jenifer Calle.
