Much like SPF, an effective cleanser is a staple to any skincare routine.

As well as melting away make-up and sunscreen, a good cleanser works to pull away pollution, grime, excess oil production and dead skin cells that accumulate on the skin’s surface. By doing this, cleansers also reduce the risk of breakouts and damage to the skin by environmental factors. This leads to better results from the rest of your skincare products, as a clean base allows formulas to better penetrate skin. And Glossier’s latest innovation helps with all of that.

Glossier’s Cleanser Concentrate, £18, is a clarifying face wash, designed to give skin a satisfying, deep clean without leaving behind that tight, ‘squeaky clean’ feeling. It has an impressive list of vegan ingredients that work to cleanse, nourish, protect and exfoliate skin.
