#1 Burt’s Bees 100% Natural Facial Cleansing Oil

Using oil to cleanse oily, acne-prone skin is A-OK! It will counteract any excess oil production for shine-free skin. Burt’s Bees 100% Natural Facial Cleansing Oil has a 100 per cent natural formula that is non-comedogenic, so it definitely won’t clog your pores.
#2 Neutrogena Acne Stress Control Power-Cream Wash

“I recommend this cleanser for anyone that has shiny/oily congested, breakout-prone skin. It foams up, making you feel that squeaky-clean feeling while not over-drying your skin.” – bh member vanessda14
#3 Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Acne Face Wash

“This amazing foam cleanser is the ultimate in natural skin care and has saved me many, many times from uneven skin. It treats acne but is also good for oily skin and is not too harsh on dry skin. However do not overuse. I would recommend using it only every two days although it can be used daily. It just depends on whether your skin tends to be oily or not.” – bh member Beauty254
#4 SkinB5 Acne Control Cleansing Mousse

This cleanser effectively removes excess oil and problem-causing bacteria. It contains a heap of goodies – including green tea, vitamin B5 and aloe vera – to simultaneously cleanse and care for your acne-prone skin.
#5 Lush Herbalism Cleanser

This crumbly green cleanser is super effective for oily, acne-prone skin. bh member mileenacatalog explains, “This is my favourite cleanser from Lush! I’ve used a couple of different ones for the past year but Herbalism works the best on my combination, acne-prone skin. It isn’t abrasive so I use it every night and it really helps my acne. My skin is always soft and brighter after each use. I love it!”
#6 Pelactiv Gentle Foaming Cleanser

“The gel cleanser is pH-balanced, and has ingredients formulated to cleanse and calm sensitive and/or oily skin. It has a pleasant, modest lather; rinses easily; and leaves my skin cleansed, soft and ready for the next step in my skin care routine.” – bh member Linda-Vesinger
#7 Alpha-H Clear Skin Daily Face Wash

Full of acne-fighting ingredients, such as tea tree, eucalyptus, thyme and salicylic acid, this cleanser will effectively clear acne-prone skin. With a 5-star rating, you can trust it does its job.
#8 Dermalogica MediBac™ Clearing Skin Wash

“My whole life from puberty to now (13-28) I have suffered with pimples, at some times more than others. This is the only product I have found which targets my zits without drying out my whole face. I love it.” – bh member Amiracle
