Top 3 affordable drugstore cleansers
A good, gentle cleanser is the absolute foundation of both your skincare and makeup routines. Clean skin is the essential starting point for achieving a natural, glowing complexion and a flawless makeup base.
Your cleanser preference will depend largely on your skin type—whether you have oily, combination, normal, or dry skin. Fortunately, some well-formulated cleansers are versatile enough to work beautifully across almost all skin conditions. Here is a breakdown of my top three drugstore cleanser favorites that clean thoroughly without stripping your skin.

This gentle cleanser is formulated to cleanse your skin without drying. It doesn't contain many of the irritants common in many cleansing products. It is safe for sensitive skin and leaves your skin soft and hydrated.
