Cleansing your skin is one of the (if not the!) most important elements of your skincare regime, after all, if a builder built a house without foundations, it would fall down, right?
To ensure you’re getting the most out of your skincare regime, you need to start by creating the perfect canvas on which to layer your products.
To save you the leg work, we’ve rounded-up our most popular Face Washes to help you to build your regime on the correct footing.
#1 - THE FACE WASH by BULK HOMME
BULK HOMME entered the UK in late 2020. The brand is based in Japan and is steeped in Japanese culture and the trust the world associates with Japanese products. THE FACE WASH is absolutely outstanding, but it has to be noted that you need to use it with THE BUBBLE NET to experience the full effect. Squeeze a small amount of THE FACE WASH onto a wet BUBBLE NET and work it into a lather. Watch as the foam whips into a marshmallow-like cloud that lifts every trace of grime from your face yet leaves it perfectly soft. It’s quite simply a game changer and you have to try it!

#2 - Anthony Glycolic Facial Cleanser
This old faithful takes some beating. Glycolic Facial Cleanser has become a classic male grooming product and is often used by our female counterparts. It's one of the most gentle yet effective men's face washes available, and if you like a non-foaming cleanser, this is the one for you. Featuring 4.9% glycolic acid, Glycolic Facial Cleanser nibbles away at dead skin cells as you cleanse to leave the face soft, smooth and completely clean. It's stood the test of time for almost 20 years and when you try it you’ll see why.

#3 - Aesop Parsley Seed Facial Cleanser
An ultra gentle formula that doubles-up as grain-free exfoliant thanks to the inclusion of lactic acid. Parsley Seed Cleanser follows Aesop’s botanical-based approach and features a handpicked blend of natural oils to free the skin of build-up and help to defend against environmental pollutants. Suitable for normal, combination and troubled skin types, Parsley Seed Cleanser treats your face with kid gloves to clean and restore balance. What’s more, it smells incredible. We always say don’t judge by scent, judge by performance, but on this occasion we have to offer an honorary knod to the aroma.
