Cetaphil Face Wash Moisturizing, gentle skin cleanser

$18 at Amazon
Those with breakouts know the power of a good skin care formula, especially a moisturizer that won’t clog pores. This Aveeno pick is ideal for acne-prone skin thanks to its non-comedogenic formula and the addition of salicylic acid. It gently firms the complexion, reduces excess sebum and prevents pimples.
