The right facial cleanser can make all the difference for your skin, especially in Singapore\u2019s hot and humid climate. All that sweat, oil, and dirt builds up fast, so a good cleansing is an essential step in your skincare routine. After all, without clean skin, your other products won\u2019t absorb properly. Luckily for you, our team rounded up the best facial cleansers in Singapore, so you can skip the guesswork and pick one that actually works for your skin!<\/span><\/p>\n

How we chose the best facial cleansers<\/span><\/h2>\n

For me, a good facial cleanser is non-negotiable. It\u2019s one of the simplest ways to take care of your skin, especially if you\u2019re not into those ten-step skincare routines. Whether you\u2019re dealing with dryness, oiliness, or a combination of both, your cleanser should help keep things clear and balanced.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We narrowed down the best facial cleansers in Singapore, according to four criteria that help ensure each pick not only cleanses well but also supports your skin\u2019s overall health, without leaving it feeling tight, irritated, or stripped.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Criteria<\/b><\/td>\nWhat we looked for<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Cleansing Efficiency<\/b><\/td>\nWe looked for facial cleansers that removed makeup, dirt, and excess oil effectively, without leaving behind any residue or causing irritation.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Non-stripping Formula<\/b><\/td>\nWe picked formulas that cleansed thoroughly but still left our skin feeling soft, hydrated, and comfortable, not tight or dry.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Texture<\/b><\/td>\nWe also took into account different preferences. Some of us liked gentle, soap-free gels, while others preferred foamy textures for that extra-clean feeling.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Active Ingredients<\/b><\/td>\nWe paid attention to the active ingredients in each cleanser, choosing ones that offered added benefits like calming, hydrating, or clarifying the skin.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

1. Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"best<\/p>\n

Active Ingredients<\/b>: Niacinamide, Glycerin, Panthenol (Vitamin B5)
\n<\/span>Benefits<\/b>: Continuous hydration, reinforces the skin’s natural moisture barrier
\n<\/span>Skin Type<\/b>: Dry to normal skin; Sensitive skin<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser<\/b><\/a> is a great option for dry or sensitive skin as it\u2019s soap-free, preservative-free, fragrance-free, and designed specifically for intolerant, easily irritated skin. It contains <\/span>glycerin<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>niacinamide<\/span><\/a>, and panthenol, which maintain your skin\u2019s natural moisture barrier, even while cleansing away dirt and oil. My colleague Shermyn even considers it one of the best facial cleansers in Singapore. Here\u2019s her take on it:<\/span><\/p>\n

Shermyn, user with combination skin<\/b>: \u201c<\/span>I\u2019ve been using Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser on and off for a few years now, and it\u2019s one of those products I always find myself coming back to, especially when my skin feels irritated, dry, or just overwhelmed from testing too many new products. I never have to worry about my skin reacting badly to this cleanser (it\u2019s that reliable!). I have a mild case of eczema, and this is one of the few products that doesn\u2019t trigger any flare-ups.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Texture<\/b><\/td>\nCreamy and smooth texture \u2013 almost like a light lotion!<\/span><\/td>\nNot ideal if you prefer a foamy, lathering cleanser<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

2. Cetaphil Gentle Foaming Cleanser<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"best<\/p>\n

Active Ingredients<\/b>: Glycerin, Vitamins B5 and E
\n<\/span>Benefits<\/b>: Gentle cleansing, moisturising, maintains the skin’s natural moisture balance
\n<\/span>Skin Type<\/b>: Dry to normal skin; Sensitive skin<\/span><\/p>\n

Cetaphil\u2019s<\/span><\/a> Gentle Skin Cleanser was my <\/span>holy grail (HG) <\/span><\/i>for years until I recently switched to their <\/span>Gentle Foaming Cleanser<\/b> for its sudsy formula. I love a rich lather, and this one delivers while still being kind to my sensitive skin. Like the original, it\u2019s packed with hydrating glycerin and skin-loving vitamins, which help keep my skin soft and supple as it gently removes dirt, oil, and makeup.<\/span><\/p>\n

Janica, user with combination skin<\/b>: <\/span>\u201cI love that the Cetaphil Gentle Foaming Cleanser doubles as a <\/span><\/i>makeup remover<\/span><\/i><\/a>, making it one of the best facial cleansers in my book! It\u2019s a great alternative to micellar water or cleansing oils, which I tend to avoid since my skin can react harshly to new or layered products. With this one, I don\u2019t need anything extra to remove mascara or eyeliner, and my skin always feels soft and hydrated after using. Of all the foaming cleansers I\u2019ve tried, this one keeps my skin feeling the most moisturised, despite its sudsy texture.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

3. CERAVE Acne Blemish Control Cleanser<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"best<\/p>\n

Active Ingredients<\/b>: 2% Salicylic acid, Ceramides, Niacinamide, Hectorite Clay
\n<\/span>Benefits<\/b>: Oil control, exfoliates, and helps to prevent future breakouts
\n<\/span>Skin Type<\/b>: Oily and Acne-prone skin<\/span><\/p>\n

Like I mentioned, I have blemish-prone skin that\u2019s prone to frustrating breakouts. On days when my skin flares up, I add the <\/span>CERAVE Acne Blemish Control Cleanser<\/b><\/a> into my routine to help manage acne around my oily T-zone. It contains 2% BHA (salicylic acid), which exfoliates the skin, unclogs pores, removes dead skin cells, and helps control sebum, making it great for acne maintenance. It\u2019s one of the best facial cleansers in Singapore for keeping blemishes, clogged pores, and blackheads in check.<\/span><\/p>\n

Janica, user with combination skin<\/b>: <\/span>\u201cI usually turn to this cleanser when I\u2019m breaking out, whether it\u2019s from stress or reacting to a new product. It helps dry out blemishes quickly and reduces cystic acne by clearing out the buildup trapped under my skin. What\u2019s more, the CERAVE Acne Blemish Control Cleanser can be used on the body too! It’s helped me manage stubborn back-ne as well.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

4. SENKA Perfect Whip Gentle Calming Cica Low pH Beauty Cleansing Foam<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"best<\/p>\n

Active Ingredients<\/b>: Glycerin, Soybean Seed Extract, Centella Asiatica (Cica) Extract
\n<\/span>Benefits<\/b>: Skin pH-friendly, calms and comforts irritated skin
\n<\/span>Skin Type<\/b>: Sensitive skin<\/span><\/p>\n

We all know (and love) the <\/span>Senka Perfect Whip<\/span><\/a> line for its rich, foamy lather that feels oh-so velvety on the skin. It\u2019s easily one of the best facial cleansers you can find in Singapore, with a wide range of options that target concerns like dryness and blemishes. That said, one lesser-talked-about variant is the <\/span>Perfect Whip Calming Cica Low pH Cleansing Foam<\/b><\/a>, but it definitely deserves more attention! Formulated with <\/span>cica<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>soybean<\/span><\/a> extract, it soothes and hydrates the skin, leaving it soft, calm, and with that plump, <\/span>mochi<\/span><\/i>-like bounce. My colleague Caryn swears by this one, and here\u2019s why:<\/span><\/p>\n

Caryn, user with combination skin<\/b>: <\/span>\u201cTried this cleanser after dealing with irritation and dryness. Nothing seemed to help until I switched to this. I\u2019ve been using this Cica cleansing foam for about 3 months now, and so far it’s been really good for my skin. The texture is lighter, and doesn’t foam up as much compared to the other Perfect Whip cleansers. And, it leaves a very nice moisturising feeling afterwards!\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

5. Torriden DIVE IN Low Molecular Hyaluronic Acid Foam Cleanser<\/span><\/h2>\n

Active Ingredients<\/b>: Low Molecular Hyaluronic Acid

\n<\/span>Skin Type<\/b>: For all skin types<\/span><\/p>\n

Torriden\u2019s<\/span><\/a> DIVE IN line has gained popularity in the K-beauty community, especially after <\/span>Hwahae <\/span><\/i>named the <\/span>DIVE IN Low Molecular Hyaluronic Acid Foam Cleanser<\/b><\/a> one of the best facial cleansers for dry and sensitive skin. It\u2019s formulated with 5D Complex <\/span>Hyaluronic Acid<\/span><\/a>, which helps moisture absorb quickly and deeply, leaving skin plump and healthy-looking. It\u2019s also fuss-free and easy to work into your daily routine. However, it\u2019s not the foamiest cleanser out there, so if you love a thick, velvety lather, this might not be your top pick. My colleague, Jaia, put it to the test, and here\u2019s what she has to say:<\/span><\/p>\n

Jaia, user with combination skin<\/b>: <\/span>\u201cIt has a very light and airy consistency with a non-drying formula that left my skin feeling refreshed after [cleansing]. It didn\u2019t make my skin too oily either, so it\u2019s a great facial cleanser for both humid and cold weather!\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

6. ETUDE Soonjung pH 6.5 Whip Cleanser<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"best<\/p>\n

\n<\/span>Benefits<\/b>: Hydrates and repairs the skin barrier, soothes irritated skin

Another one of Caryn\u2019s picks, the <\/span>ETUDE Soonjung pH 6.5 Whip Cleanser<\/b><\/a>, stood out for its <\/span>10-free formula<\/span><\/i>, meaning it\u2019s free from animal ingredients, mineral oil, <\/span>fragrance<\/span><\/a>, parabens, and other potential irritants. It\u2019s a gentle, skin-friendly cleanser that helps soothe irritated or sensitive skin while allowing it to breathe and heal. It also contains Panthensoside\u2122, which calms redness and soothes dry skin for extra comfort!<\/span><\/p>\n

Caryn, user with combination skin<\/b>: <\/span>\u201cI used this for a short while as my skin was really sensitive for a period of time. I only got this because this product is known for its 10 Free properties. It’s also known for having a pH that’s similar to what your skin would be. It worked wonders, helping me to cleanse my skin after a long day out and without any irritation as well.

7. CosRx Triple Hyaluronic Moisturizing Cleanser<\/span><\/h2>\n

\n<\/span>Benefits<\/b>: Deep cleansing, maintains long-lasting skin hydration
\n<\/span>Skin Type<\/b>: All skin types<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve tried most of the <\/span>CosRx<\/span><\/a> facial cleansers, from the <\/span>Low pH Good Morning Cleanser<\/span><\/a> to the Pure Fit Cica Cleanser, but the <\/span>Triple Hyaluronic Moisturizing Cleanser<\/b><\/a> is still my favourite out of the entire line. Its hydrating formula never leaves my skin feeling dry, reddened, or stripped, even with daily use.<\/span><\/p>\n

Janica, user with combination skin<\/b>: <\/span>\u201cI use this facial cleanser on days when I need a deeper cleanse, since I don\u2019t double-cleanse with oil-based products (they tend to trigger breakouts for me). I love the fresh, clean feeling it leaves on my skin, and the rich, fluffy foam feels so luxurious that deep-cleansing starts to feel more like a spa day than a chore. However, the formula is quite rich, so it\u2019s something to be mindful of, especially if you have very sensitive skin. While I do have sensitive skin myself and haven\u2019t had major issues, I still take care not to overuse it, as it could be a bit too much for more reactive skin types.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

I\u2019m all for minimalist skincare routines, and the <\/span>Simple Kind to Skin Refreshing Facial Wash Gel Cleanser<\/b><\/a> is a no-frills staple that does exactly what it promises: keeping your skin clean and healthy. My colleague Jena swears by it as her <\/span>HG<\/span><\/i>, as it clears away oil and impurities after a long day without stripping moisture like typical foaming cleansers. She still double-cleanses for makeup, but since using this, she\u2019s noticed smoother skin and hasn\u2019t needed her spot treatments as often.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jena, user with combination skin<\/b>: <\/span>\u201cWhat I like about this product compared to the common foaming cleanser is that it doesn\u2019t strip away moisture after washing my face. Since using this product, I can\u2019t recall if I had some random zit on my face for the past 2 months, because my pink powder spot treatment has been left untouched.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Shermyn switched to the <\/span>MAKE P:REM Safe Me Amino Refresh Cleansing Balm<\/b> after discovering it on TikTok, and it\u2019s been her go-to ever since. Its smooth, buttery texture melts away even long-wearing makeup with ease, without stripping the skin of its natural moisture. Once emulsified, it transforms into a milky solution, making it one of the best facial cleansers in Singapore for anyone looking for a soap-free, skin-friendly option.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shermyn, user with combination skin<\/b>: <\/span>\u201cThis cleansing balm is my go-to on days when I wear heavy makeup and need to double cleanse.

The <\/span>Biodance Collagen Mask to Foam Cleanser<\/b><\/a> has been on my radar for a while now, so I finally gave it a go and tested it for over a week. Thankfully, it didn\u2019t trigger any breakouts, and I was pleasantly surprised by how hydrating (and fun) this cleanser was! Like the rest of the <\/span>Biodance<\/span><\/a> Collagen line, this cleanser features ultra-low molecular collagen that absorbs quickly to boost elasticity, along with SYN-COLL, which helps tighten pores and improve overall skin texture.<\/span><\/p>\n

Janica, user with combination skin<\/b>: <\/span>\u201cI tested it both as a pore-cleansing mask and a regular foam cleanser, and personally, I preferred using it as a foam. My skin did feel more moisturised when I used it as a mask, but since I usually hydrate in later steps, I didn\u2019t find it essential. That said, it gave my skin a glassy, bouncy finish I really liked. Still, it might be the best facial cleanser for you if you\u2019re after a more minimal routine, since it cleanses and hydrates in one step.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\"best<\/p>\n

Active Ingredients<\/b>: High-purity soymilk isoflavone
\n<\/span>Benefits<\/b>: Brightens and hydrates skin
\n<\/span>Skin Type<\/b>: Oily to normal skin<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s one of the best facial cleansers in Singapore that\u2019s often overlooked: The <\/span>Sana Soy Milk Moist Cleansing Wash<\/b><\/a>! Recommended by Jaia, this gentle yet effective cleanser is enriched with soybean extract to help keep skin bright, smooth, and hydrated. Its creamy, foamy texture breaks down makeup, oil, and daily grime with ease, offering a satisfying cleanse without the tight, squeaky feel that harsh cleansers leave behind.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jaia, user with combination skin<\/b>: <\/span>\u201cI love this facial cleanser because it\u2019s non-drying, yet it removes makeup, oils, and impurities so well! The <\/span><\/i>soymilk<\/span><\/i><\/a> [extract] keeps my skin smooth and bouncy. It lathers up nicely but feels lighter than other foam cleansers, so there\u2019s no heaviness or friction. It\u2019s perfect for removing a full face of makeup after a long day.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Non-stripping Formula<\/b><\/td>\nFeels gentle and refreshing, and doesn’t leave a tight, squeaky finish<\/span><\/td>\nCan be drying over time, especially for dry or dehydrated skin types<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Texture<\/b><\/td>\nCreamy foam lathers well without being too thick or heavy<\/span><\/td>\nMay feel slightly drying if your skin barrier is already compromised<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Active Ingredients<\/b><\/td>\nContains soybean extract, known for its hydrating, brightening, and smoothing benefits<\/span><\/td>\nPrimarily focused on cleansing, with no treatment-focused ingredients<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
