Types of Desert Essence Botanical Facial Cleansers

We carry a variety of botanical facial cleansers, so which ones are right for your face wash routine? Here's what you need to know about each of our major offerings.

Micellar Cleansing Water

Simplify your routine with an effective, yet cleansing and nourishing micellar water. Our rinse-less formula harnesses the power of tea tree oil for deep cleansing, aloe for soothing and cucumber for nourishing. You'll be glowing with a soft and clean complexion before you know it!

Facial Cleansing Pads

Short on time? Our cleansing pads are your shortcuts to clean, clear skin. Infused with botanical-based ingredients, they clarify your skin to help you maintain a radiant complexion when you’re on the go. Different ingredients target different conditions; cucumber and aloe facial cleansing pads are the best choice for dry skin, cannabis sativa and white ginger facial cleansing pads are key for oil-prone skin and pineapple enzyme facial cleansing pads should be the go-to for blemish-prone skin.

Facial Cleansing Scrubs

Our stimulating face scrubs help restore your glow while pampering your skin in the process. Infused with botanical exfoliators, pure botanical oils and soothing fruit and flower extracts, these refreshing formulas gently remove dead skin cells and unclog pores to help support a smoother, more radiant complexion.

A Botanical-Based Face Wash for Every Skin Type

Want to shop specifically for your skin type? No worries — here are the best ingredients and face washes for every skin type.

Facial Cleanser for Oily Skin

Tea tree oil is an excellent ingredient for oil-prone skin. The Thoroughly Clean Tea Tree Oil Face Wash uses the deeply cleansing and clarifying powers and benefits of tea tree oil to remove oil and other impurities without drying out the skin. As a result, you’ll be left with a clean and refreshed complexion!

Facial Cleanser for Dry Skin

Soothe dry skin with the Gentle Nourishing Organic Cleanser. The nutrient-rich formula uses organic apple juice, aloe and chamomile to cleanse sensitive skin, removing impurities without compromising your natural moisture barrier.

Facial Cleanser for Combination Skin

For combination skin with oily and dry areas, pick up the Thoroughly Clean Face Wash - Sea Kelp. In its formula, the tea tree oil removes oils and other impurities, while the mineral-rich sea kelp delivers a surge of hydration for drier regions.
