Best Face Cleansers Australia
Choosing the right face cleanser is one of the most important steps in any skincare routine. A good cleanser removes makeup, sunscreen, excess oil and impurities while supporting a healthy skin barrier. At VAMS Beauty, we’ve curated Australian face cleansers for every skin type — sensitive, dry, oily, combination and mature from brands including Biobod, Lamav, Remi Organics, Muse by Gaia and Enbacci.
How To Choose The Right Face Cleanser
Different skin types suit different cleanser textures. Here’s our guide, with a pick for each:
- Cream cleansers nourish and hydrate dry or sensitive skin try the Lamav Hydra-Calm Cream Cleanser ($37, 100ml).
- Gel cleansers give a lightweight cleanse for combination and oily skin — try the Enbacci Rejuvenating Gel Cleanser ($54, 100ml) or the Remi Organics Tropical Gel Cleanser ($45.95, 100ml).
- Cleansing balms dissolve makeup, sunscreen and excess oil — try the Enbacci Calm Reset Cleansing Balm ($79.50).
- Oil cleansers melt away SPF and makeup while supporting radiance — try the award-recognised Remi Organics Brightening Oil Cleanser ($69.95, 100ml; Beauty Shortlist Awards 2025).
- Cleansing powders offer gentle cleansing and mild exfoliation in one — try the Biobod Gentle Rice & Oat Cleansing Powder ($65, 50g), with more than 35 five-star reviews.
- Solid cleanse bars are travel-friendly and low-waste — try the Biobod Calming Balance Cleanse Bar ($28, 100g), our most-reviewed cleanser.
Gentle Cleansers For Sensitive Skin
Our bestselling cleansers for sensitive skin focus on cleansing without stripping. The Biobod Calming Balance Cleanse Bar ($28, 100g) has more than 35 five-star reviews — customers describe it as simple, effective and beautifully unscented. The Biobod Gentle Rice & Oat Cleansing Powder ($65, 50g) is just as loved, with a finely milled rice, oat and turmeric formula that cleanses and gently brightens in one step.
Double Cleansing
Double cleansing pairs an oil or balm first cleanse (to dissolve makeup, SPF and sebum) with a water-based second cleanse. The Lamav Double Cleansing DUO for Oily/Combination skin ($66) gives you both steps in one set, or build your own with the Enbacci Calm Reset Cleansing Balm ($79.50) or Remi Organics Brightening Oil Cleanser ($69.95) followed by your favourite gel or cream cleanser.
Natural Face Cleansers & Clean Beauty
Every cleanser in this collection comes from an Australian beauty brand committed to thoughtful, naturally inspired formulations — including the newly landed Remi Organics range, recognised in the Beauty Shortlist Awards 2025. Pair any cleanser with the ASGFR Reusable Face Wash Cloth ($10) for a lower-waste routine.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best face cleanser for sensitive skin?
Our most-loved cleanser for sensitive skin is the Biobod Calming
Balance Cleanse Bar ($28, 100g), with more than 35 five-star reviews. It is a
gentle, non-stripping solid cleanser designed to support the skin barrier, and
customers praise its fragrance-free formula and thoughtful packaging. The
Biobod Gentle Rice & Oat Cleansing Powder ($65, 50g) is another
sensitive-skin favourite, combining rice and oat powders with turmeric for
soft, finely milled cleansing.
Should I use a cleansing balm or face cleanser?
Many people use both in a double-cleansing routine: a balm or oil first to dissolve makeup, sunscreen and excess oil, then a water-based cleanser for daily impurities. The Enbacci Calm Reset Cleansing Balm ($79.50) handles the first step, or choose the Lamav Double Cleansing DUO for Oily/Combination skin ($66), which pairs both steps in one set.
Can a face cleanser help dry skin?
Yes. Hydrating cream cleansers clean without stripping moisture. The Lamav Hydra-Calm Cream Cleanser ($37, 100ml) is our pick for dry skin — a nourishing, organic cream texture that helps cleanse while leaving skin feeling soft and comfortable rather than tight.
How often should I cleanse my face?
Most skin types benefit from cleansing twice daily, morning and evening to remove sunscreen, makeup, excess oil and impurities. If you wear makeup or SPF daily, an evening double cleanse with a balm or oil followed by a gentle cleanser helps make sure everything is properly removed.
What is the difference between a gel cleanser and a cream cleanser?
Gel cleansers like the Enbacci Rejuvenating Gel Cleanser ($54, 100ml) feel lighter and suit oily and combination skin, while cream cleansers like the Lamav Hydra-Calm Cream Cleanser ($37, 100ml) have a nourishing texture preferred by dry and sensitive skin types.
What is a cleansing powder and how do I use it?
A cleansing powder is a water-activated cleanser: mix a small amount with water in your palms to create a soft paste, massage over damp skin and rinse. The Biobod Gentle Rice & Oat Cleansing Powder ($65, 50g) combines rice powder, oatmeal and turmeric for gentle cleansing and mild exfoliation in one step, and has more than 35 five-star reviews.
