A face cleanser is the first step in any skincare routine. It’s meant to do exactly what its name suggests—cleanse. You want to pick one that sets the tone for the rest of your regimen and gives you a clean canvas to work with. Sometimes, though, it’s hard to pinpoint the right product for your skin, especially if you have acne. But, I’ve finally managed to find one that somehow addresses all of my skincare concerns and then some.
Tula’s The Cult Classic Purifying Face Cleanser purifies, exfoliates and so much more. The gentle formula leaves my skin feeling and looking just as it should after using a cleanser—squeaky clean and luminous as ever (but never dry). It works great for oily, combination, acne-prone, dry and mature skin, but shoppers seem to love it most for erasing away blemishes. The product name includes the words, “cult favorite,” for a reason.
“This is the holy grail of all face cleansers. I use this every night before bed and it has helped clear up acne and acne scars,” wrote one shopper among the thousands to give it a five-star rating.
I myself have run through countless bottles like it’s water—it’s the only cleanser I reach for most days, and it’s for good reason. As someone with acne-prone skin, I like to use simple, non-aggravating cleansers that remove excess oil, grime and makeup without irritating my skin. This one from Tula checks all my boxes: Its gel-like formula doesn’t feel too heavy on my skin, and it’s able to remove every inch of product on my face in seconds. I’ll definitely be stocking up on more bottles while it’s currently $10 off during Tula’s birthday sale (that’s just $14 per bottle!)

Tula is known for including probiotics and prebiotics in its formulas, including this one. Probiotics balance your skin when there’s inflammation and protect your skin barrier to block out all the bad stuff. The formula also contains chicory root, a prebiotic that nourishes.
As if those ingredients aren’t enough, turmeric, white tea and blueberry enhance skin texture so that the rest of your skincare lineup applies smoothly. By the time you’re done cleansing, your complexion should be free of dirt, makeup and impurities, but not feeling stripped or dry.
“I’ve been suffering with hormonal acne for the past couple of years. I’ve also been struggling with finding a cleanser that works with my sensitive skin,” wrote one shopper. “Tula’s purifying face cleanser has relieved the majority of my acne and helped repair the damages my skin suffered while looking for a cleanser that actually works.”
Reviewers swear it can even help with cosmetic concerns, like an evening out skin tone.
“If you need a cleanser to help reduce redness and inflammation, this is definitely something to invest in,” wrote another shopper. “I have been using it for a little over a week and a half, and I am starting to see some positive results already!”
Now that we’ve told you all about this face cleanser’s laundry list of amazing benefits, it’s time to add one to your cart for $14 and check out. Next thing you know, your skin will be glowing and as clear as can be (trust me, I know this for fact).
