Facial cleansers that moisturize the skin while effectively melting away makeup are a rare combination, but Clinique's Take the Day Off Cleansing Milk does just that.

The product contains a residue-free formula meaning it can clean the face without stripping away the skin's natural moisture barrier. Unlike other cleansers, Clinique's product leaves the skin feeling touchably smooth and comfortable. According to the brand, this ophthalmologist tested face wash is ideal for very-dry, dry dry-combination and oily skin types.

The gentle cleanser melts away even the most stubborn of cosmetics, including water-proof, mineral-based and sunscreen, leaving behind freshly cleansed skin that's sure to satisfy anyone. What's more is that this product is paraben-free and arrives at an affordable price point.
