Whether you prefer a gel, foam or milky consistency depending on your skin type, we can all agree that fragrance-free cleansers are the best cleansers to use on the face — Fragrances serve no real benefit to us, aside from perhaps adding a luxurious feel to our day or nighttime routines, our skin is not enriched by added fragrances. This is why we should focus on, you guessed it — the ingredients — above all else. Below is a list of the best fragrance-free cleansers, oils, balms and milks for sensitive and different skin types.
