You know the saying that cleansers are so elementary in skincare that any one will do? These make you to choose them because they not only clean skin, but treat it too. Take Shu Uemura’s Anti/Oxi+ Pollutant & Dullness Clarifying Cleansing Oil ($55), which has papaya and green tea extracts to fight free radical damage and sallowness. Or Kenzoki’s Amazing Cleansing Water ($52), with ginger plant essence and yuzu extract to reportedly boost skin regeneration and hydration. Meanwhile, Estee Lauder’s Advanced Night Micro Cleansing Foam ($52) softens and soothes with a conditioning blend of sunfl ower oils and minerals. Who are you calling basic? – MSY
