Comments Off on Best Cleansers for 2025 for all Skin Types & Budgets
*Links marked with asterisks are affiliate links, these help Ree with running costs of the blog
Every good skincare routine starts with finding a really good cleanser that suits your needs and your skin type. Cleansing is one of my favourite parts of my regime, so I wanted to round up the best of the best that work for a range of skin types across different budgets. Check out my Best Cleansers for 2025 list.
Why are Cleansers Important?
Best Cleanser for 2025 for all Skin Types & Budgets
It doesn’t matter how much money, time and effort you put into skincare if you don’t get your cleanse right, it’s all a big waste. Achieving thoroughly cleansed, but not stripped skin, is the ultimate foundation for keeping your skin barrier in the best shape possible.
Once you have removed all makeup, dirt, SPF and excess oil, your skin can effectively absorb all your other skincare products including serums, moisturisers, oils and more.
Cleansing doesn’t have to be a chore, and if you find the right ones for your needs, you will reap the benefits and get your skin soft, smooth and glowing.
Best Cleansers 2025 for Dry & Sensitive Skin
Dry and sensitive skin needs care and attention when it comes to cleansing and it’s super important to make sure that the skin barrier isn’t compromised. You will need a cleanser that’s super gentle, yet cleanses the skin effectively. Here are my top recommendations.
Tatcha Camellia Cleansing Oil
This luxurious, silky cleansing oil is suitable for all skin types but I think it’s particularly good for dryness.
Best Cleansers for 2025 – Tatcha The Camellia Cleansing Oil
It’s a beautiful oil that is super effective at removing makeup and breaking down excess oil in the skin, whilst maintaining the skin’s natural moisture and helping to increase hydration.
It emulsifies effortlessly with water, and doesn’t leave residue behind, just soft, pampered skin.
Shop it via the following links:
Erborian Centella Cleansing Oil
This cleansing all is super effective for removing every trace of makeup yet it is super gentle, even on sensitive skin.
Best Cleansers for 2025 – Erborian Centella Cleansing Oil
The texture of this oil is silky and luxurious, and it effortlessly breaks down makeup, including waterproof mascara and sunscreen. The formula includes centella asiatica, sweet almond oil and sunflower oil, plus BisaBolife which together work to sooth and hydrate the skin, whilst helping to reduce the redness and inflammation caused by skin irritation.
I absolutely love this stuff and have been through quite a few bottles. I think it is good for all skin types because it’s super light and doesn’t leave a residue on the skin.
The Erborian Centella Cleansing Oil is available via the links below:
This cleanser has an incredible texture that from a jelly to a lightweight oil and not only does it instantly break down even the most stubborn makeup, but it impart the skin with lots of skincare ingredients too.
It uses a blend of 9 nourishing oils and also shea butter to condition and soften the skin. A perfect first or single cleanse. For more information, read: Fenty Skin Melt Awf Jelly Oil Make-Up Melting Cleanser Review.

Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm
This cleansing balm is an oldie but a goody and I pretty much always have it in my stash. It is a brilliant cleanser for removing every scrap of makeup and impurities.
Best Cleansers for 2025 – Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm
It is fragrance-free and non-comedogenic which means it’s good for sensitive skin and won’t clog pores. The formula uses safflower seed oil which is rich in linoleic acid, which breaks down makeup and natural oils, whilst leaving skin nourished and soft.

It’s also great for increasing elasticity and improving general skin health.
Best Cleansers 2025 for Oily Skin
When it comes to cleansing oily skin, it is crucial that while excess oil is removed, the skin isn’t stripped and left dehydrated. These cleansers respect the skin barrier while effectively treating oily skin types.
Kiehl’s Rare Earth Deep Pore-Minimizing & Polishing Powder
Powder cleansers are super convenient and easy to travel with, and this one is a really good one.

I have combination skin and I find cleansing such an important part of my regime to keep my skin as balanced as possible. Light exfoliation helps to deal with t-zone issues, and maximise the absorption of hydrating ingredients.
Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Cleansing Gelee
This is a brand new addition to the Advanced Night Repair franchise and I have been really enjoying it. It is an oil-based cleanser, however, it is lovely and light so if you don’t enjoy some of the heavier oils or balms, this one could be for you.

Best cleansers 2025 – Bioderma Sensibio Micellar Cleansing Oil
Although primarily suitable for sensitive skin, I think this is perfect for combination skin as it has a super light oil texture that emulsifies with a splash of water and rinses clean away, leaving zero residue. It also provides antioxidant protection.

If you’ve been waiting for Kulfi Beauty to hit UK shelves, the time has come! This is my full Kulfi Beauty UK review with swatches and product thoughts ahead of the official UK launch at Space NK on Friday 8th August 2025.
I’ve tested five of the most exciting products from the range, from the Main Match Concealer to the dreamy Heirloom Lipsticks. Here’s everything you need to know before it drops.
What is Kulfi Beauty?
Kulfi Beauty UK Review & Swatches – Launching at Space NK
Before I dive into this Kulfi Beauty UK review, here’s a little background. Kulfi Beauty is a South Asian-inspired makeup brand known for its bold colour stories, creamy formulas, and inclusive shade ranges. Founded with joy and celebration in mind, this brand champions skin tones that are often overlooked.
Their mission? To make makeup feel like fun, not pressure, and it shows. Founder Priyanka Ganjoo created the Kulfi Beauty brand back in 2021 with the aim of addressing the lack of representation for South Asian individuals in the beauty industry. Having tried the products, however, and meeting lovely Priyanka, I feel it’s truly a brand for everyone.
Where to Buy Kulfi Beauty in the UK
The Kulfi Beauty UK launch is happening at Space NK (both online and selected stores including the brand new Oxford Circus store) on Friday 8th August 2025. You’ll be able to shop all the core products including mascara, concealer, blush, shadow, and lipstick and more.
Kulfi Beauty UK Review – Best Products to Try First
I have been trying out a selection of products and I’m really impressed. Here’s a collection of mini reviews to help you shop this new-to-the-UK brand.
Kulfi Beauty UK Launch – What to Buy
Main Match Concealer (£26) – shade Bad Badaam swatch
Kulfi Beauty UK Launch – Main Match Concealer
A medium buildable coverage concealer that blends seamlessly and stays put all day with it’s crease-proof and self setting formula.
Kulfi Beauty UK Launch – Main Match Concealer Doe Foot Applicator
I matched myself with The Bad Badaam shade at the launch event in July and I am really pleased with it. If you’re a shade twin, I think this might be a great one for you too. It has a really nice neutral tone and is very easy to blend.
Kulfi Beauty UK Main Match Concealer Swatch – Bad Badaam
I use it under my eyes and over any areas of hyperpigmentation and it works so well to even out my skin tone.
Kulfi Beauty Main Match Concealer shade – Bad Badaam
Here’s a list of my foundation matches in case it helps to choose your shade:
Naked Sundays BeautyScreen SPF50 Peptide Foundation Tint shade 2 or 2.5
MERIT The Uniform Tinted Mineral SPF 50 shade 24
Sweed Glass Skin Foundation shade 5
Guerlain Terracotta Le Teint Glow Healthy Glow Foundation shade 2N
Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Gel Tint shade 4 (£34)
Clinique Even Better Clinical Vitamin Makeup SPF 50 in Light Cool 3 (£39)
Anastasia Beverly Hills Impeccable Blurring Second Skin Matte Foundation in 2N (£39)
Shiseido Synchro Skin Radiant Lifting Foundation in 310 (£47)
e.l.f. Cosmetics Soft Glam Satin Foundation in 20 Light Cool (£8)
Sisley Paris Phyto Teint Perfection Foundation in 2N1 (£80)
Shiseido Revitalessence Skin Glow Foundation in 250 (£49)
Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation in 130 Light Warm £42)
NARS Light Reflecting Foundation in Deauville (£41)
Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear Care and Glow Foundation shade 115C (£39.50)
Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Foundation in 4 neutral (£39)
La Mer Radiant Skin Tint in Light 22 (£80)
Cle de Peau Radiant Cream Foundation in 020 Light Medium Ochre (£108)
Cle de Peau Radiant Fluid Foundation Natural in 020 Light Medium Ochre (£121)
This is mousse-like cream shadow formula and it delivers high-impact shimmer in both duo-chrome and metallic finishes, with zero fallout. I have the shade Sitara Sparkes:
Kulfi Beauty UK Zari Eyes – swatch Sitari Sparkles
This kind of shadow is perfect for one-and-done eye looks and it also layers really nicely over my REESON Lid Elixir, which is great if you want to add in some wearable skincare.
Mehndi Moment Blush (£24) – Lucky Lotus Swatch
Kulfi Beauty UK Mehndi Moment Blush
This is a super pigmented tube of blush and you only need a tiny bit. I have shade Lucky Lotus which is a vibrant purple shade, and probably not the one I’d choose for my skin tone.
Kulfi Beauty UK Mehndi Moment Blush Swatch – Lucky Lotus
I find that popping a small amount on to the back of your hand and then working it into a brush before applying is the most foolproof way of using it.
Heirloom Satin Lipstick (£28) – Bangle Box Swatch
Kulfi Beauty UK Launch – Heirloom Satin Lipstick
The Heirloom Satin Lipstick might actually be my top pick from the whole collection. I have the shade Bangle Box which is a gorgeous soft pink.
I also really loved the look of Polki Dots, which has a beautiful peachy tone. It’s a gorgeous formula, and perfect for everyday wear. It is super comfortable and creamy. Love it.
I got on really well with this mascara. Think fluttery, natural length with serious staying power. It is a tubing mascara, so it’s long-lasting and smudge-proof. I really like the slim wand with the spiky ball on the end which is great for getting into the outer lashes and pulling them outwards.
Kulfi Beauty UK Launch – Badi Lash Mascara
A little goes a long way with this, and it gives a nice lift to the lashes.
My Kulfi Beauty Application Video
Final Thoughts on My Kulfi Beauty UK Review
If you’re thinking of trying something new when Kulfi Beauty launches in the UK, I can wholeheartedly recommend this range. The formulas are fun, easy to use, and they genuinely perform. Definitely try the Heirloom Satin Lipsticks if you are looking for an easy to wear, and comfortable lip colour, with gorgeous packaging.
This Kulfi Beauty UK review was such a pleasure to write, and I look forward to trying more products from the brand.
