11. Urban Skin Rx Clear Skin Cleansing Bar

BEST DERMATOLOGIST-RECOMMENDED FACE WASH FOR OILY SKIN

Dr. Stephens recommends this unique cleansing bar for anyone with oily skin. “[It’s] formulated with salicylic acid, niacinamide, sulfur and ingredients that promote an even skin tone and decrease acne while promoting oil regulation,” she says. Simply wet the included sponge with warm water and rub across the cleansing bar to create a creamy lather. Gently massage onto the face using small circular motions. Once cleansed, rinse and wring the sponge, letting it fully dry atop the jar.

Though it’s marketed for sensitive or post-procedure skin, the Lab found this cleanser a good option for every skin type, naming it one of the best skincare products. It received the highest overall score for a pleasant texture and a generous lather. One tester with sensitive, oily skin says: “[It] did not dry my skin — seems to calm the redness a little. I can tell that this is a high-quality product with really nice ingredients that my skin is very happy with.”
