Here's what our community thinks
Pacifica Wake Up Beautiful Waterless Cleansing Balm 21 ingredients
I really like this cleansing balm for travel, as the tube packaging is so convenient. It takes off my makeup and emulsifies nicely, and has a nice balance of oils that doesn't feel drying or greasy. It's basically Goldilocks.
Vanicream Daily Facial Moisturizer 19 ingredients
Lightweight, calming, noncomedogenic moisturizer. It has a light/buttery texture and absorbs quickly. This works for my sensitive oily skin and doesn't break me out, and it doesn't cause sunscreen to pill/peel or anything.
Best lightweight every face cream
This product is perfect for my dry combo skin. It's scentless and lightweight and makes my face feels hydrated. Perfect for everyday use.
