8 best cleansers for every skin need, per fresh-faced celebs
While stars have access to potions and procedures aplenty, not all their skincare secrets require a high budget or an A-list doc.
Plenty of famous folks start their routine off simple with a classic cleanser — a skincare step dermatologist Dr. Whitney Bowe tells Page Six Style people often “underestimate the power” of.
Below, rinse and repeat with the cleansing formulas famous folks swear by, from Jenna Lyons’ luxe exfoliating find to Hailey Bieber’s drugstore favorite.

Pros:
- Hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic formula
- Under $15
Cons:
- The brand’s hydrating cleansers may be a better fit for shoppers with dry skin
While Cetaphil’s classic cleanser rings in at under $15, it’s racked up scores of famous fans. Julianne Moore told Vogue she uses the face wash — designed for sensitive, normal to oily skin — as part of her routine, as she needed a product she can “get all over the world” due to her travel schedule.
Megan Thee Stallion and Gigi Hadid also praised its powers to Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue, respectively, with the latter saying: “Whenever I’m working a lot, or I’m wearing a lot of makeup, or I’m coming from a shoot, I use Cetaphil because I just feel like it really cleans my skin.”
Page Six Style’s review: “I’ve been using Cetaphil ever since my dermatologist recommended it. It’s been a good fit for my sensitive skin, and the bottle lasts me such a long time (even with nightly use).” — Hannah Southwick, Page Six Commerce Writer

Pros:
- Helps remove makeup
- Gentle formula was made with sensitive skin top of mind
Cons:
- Not designed for oil skin
From reality TV royalty to real-life royals, plenty of stars swear by this cleanser created for normal and dry skin types. Meghan Markle featured it in ShopMy curation of her beauty favorites in spring 2025, while Kyle Richards called it a “great cleanser” on Amazon Live.
“This is a very popular brand and there’s a reason for that,” the “RHOBH” OG added.
WNBA star Angel Reese featured the same formula in her Vogue “Beauty Secrets” video, while Keke Palmer’s partial to the drugstore brand’s Mela B3 Cleanser.

Pros:
- Unscented and designed for all skin types
As a celebrity esthetician, Shani Darden’s no stranger to working with famous faces. Her clients range from Shay Mitchell and Jessica Alba to Jennifer Aniston, the latter of whom is a fan of her retinol.
So it’s no surprise that this oil-and-serum combo has found famous fans like Rita Ora, who praised “my girl Shani” in a Vogue video saying, “This is giving clean; I’m here for it.”
La La Anthony told Vogue she discovered the foaming formula from Kelly Rowland, who is “obsessed” with it.

Pros:
- 2-in-1 cleansing foam and exfoliating powder transforms to foam when combined with water
- Features active skincare ingredients like vitamin C and niacinamide
Cons:
- One of the most expensive options on this list
While this cleanser comes out of the bottle as a powder, it transforms into a foaming face wash when mixed with water. Serena Williams told Vogue she typically uses two or three pumps of the stuff, saying, “I like how she makes things for darker skin tones.”
Emma Roberts told the same outlet she uses it once a week as part of her “full luxurious face routine,” while Victoria Beckham raved about it in a Glamour interview.
“It’s delicate enough to use daily; with the powder formula, a little goes a long way,” the Spice Girls star said.

Pros:
- 3-in-1 formula is designed to remove makeup, tone and mildly exfoliate
- Designed for all skin types
Cons:
- Not the best for those who prefer unscented formulas
When it comes to banishing breakouts, this 3-in-1 toning, cleansing and exfoliating face wash is somewhat of a breakout star in Hollywood. Meghann Fahy told Vogue it’s “really gentle and super non-drying” for her “sometimes adult acne,” while Zoey Deutch told the same outlet it’s “literally the only cleanser I can use that doesn’t make me break out.”
It also plays a role in Millie Bobby Brown’s date-night beauty routine, as she plugged it in her own “Beauty Secrets” breakdown.
“I love this especially if I’m about to break out it dries out.. any active acne I have on my face,” the “Stranger Things” actress explained.

Pros:
- Budget-friendly
- Fragrance-free
Cons:
- Some Amazon reviewers noted that the lotion-like formula doesn’t create a lather, which can take getting used to
Long before selling her own beauty brand for a billion dollars, Hailey Bieber gave this drugstore beauty classic a shoutout.
“It’s an OG, a forever go-to brand for me,” she told the Cut in 2023.
She’s not alone in her love for CeraVe; Conan Gray washed his “really sensitive skin” with this cleanser in a Vogue video, while Olivia Wilde had a bottle on her bathroom counter in a 2023 mirror selfie.
Page Six Style’s review: “My dermatologist recommended this for my dry, sensitive skin years ago, and I still use it to this day. I’d recommend pairing it with a micellar water or gentle makeup remover if you wear waterproof eyeliner or mascara, but it’s an overall wonderful cleanser that won’t strip your skin and leaves it feeling clean and soft. Plus, the price is right; I’m morally opposed to paying more than $20 or $25 for a cleanser.” — Elana Fishman, Page Six Style & Shopping Director

Pros:
- Does double duty as cleanser and exfoliant
- The brand says 100% of the ingredients are from natural origin
- Several reviewers noted it wasn’t as drying as other exfoliating skin products they’d tried
Cons:
- Pricier than most options on this list
Designed to buff “dull, uneven or congested skin,” this luxe formula does double duty as cleanser and exfoliator. Emma Roberts told the Kit she uses it when she wants to “go a little deeper” with her skincare, while Jenna Lyons told Goop it’s how she melts off her makeup at night.

Pros:
- Designed for all skin types
- Features superfood ingredients like kale and spinach
- Refillable packaging
Cons:
- On the pricier side
- Some reviewers noted the bottle often leaks when traveling
From cold-pressed antioxidants to kale and spinach, this cleanser shares several ingredients with green juice. Tyla and Kaia Gerber both use it as the first step of their beauty routines, with the latter telling Vogue she uses it “morning and night.”
FAQ
How often should you use cleanser?
Dermatologist and skincare founder Dr. Whitney Bowe tells us she advises cleansing your skin both day and night, as the first step of your skincare routine.
“As a dermatologist, I know that your cleanser sets the stage for all of your other skincare products and ingredients,” explains Bow, who recently formulated her own Bowe Glowe Cleanser to remove “unwanted debris from the skin surface and deep within the pores.”
Dr. Sandy Skotnicki, board-certified dermatologist and “Skin To It” podcast host, tells us she typically uses Bioderma Sensibio H20 Micellar Water in the morning followed by cleanser at night. (“Over-cleansing can disrupt the skin’s natural barrier, so it’s important to tailor the routine to individual skin needs,” she explains.)
Her favorites also include Three Ships Harmony Microbiome Balancing Cleanser — a “minimalist” product she helped formulate — and Cetaphil’s Gentle Foaming Cleanser.
How do you find the right cleanser?
Both dermatologists recommend shopping for cleanser based on your skin type and individual concerns.
- Dry, sensitive or mature skin: Bowe recommends looking for a “gentle creamy cleanser,” noting that after age 40 your skin might also get more dry and sensitive than it used to. (She advises looking for ingredients like calming peptides, hydrating hyaluronic acid and ceramides and niacinamide “to help support a healthy skin barrier.”)
- Combination skin: Skotnicki recommends finding a “balanced cleanser that addresses both oily and dry areas without causing irritation.”
- Oily skin: Bowe recommends using a gel cleanser instead of a cream one, and finding options with active ingredients that help with acne and oil control, such as salicylic acid (aka BHA), niacinamide and green tea.
“When it comes to cleansers, formulation matters,” adds Bowe. “If your cleanser is too strong, it will not only remove dirt, debris and makeup, but it will also wash away your skin’s natural lipids.”

Jennifer Lopez busts a move in lace-up jeans from 2001 ‘Ain’t It Funny’ music video

Jennifer Lopez is giving us nostalgia served hot!
The pop star, 56, slipped into the exact same jeans she wore in her 2001 “Ain’t It Funny” music video to re-create an “Off Campus” scene with actress Mika Abdalla.
For the cheeky clip — which Lopez posted on social media — she paired the ultra-low-slung lace-up denim with a white cropped turtleneck that made the most of her impressive abs.
“It’s a new Jeneration of party people…🎶,” she captioned the video, giving a nod to lyrics from her 2011 collaboration with Pitbull, “On the Floor.”
One observant X user commented on the singer’s “INSANE” pants and shared a snippet from the “Ain’t It Funny” video.
Lopez confirmed the fan’s suspicions by replying, “They’re the same ones from that video 😀.”
As for Abdalla, she went with her own throwback-inspired look by pairing a brown backless halter top with baggy jeans and a vintage belt.
The clip began with the 26-year-old standing outside Lopez’s dance studio while mouthing her “Off Campus” co-star Khobe Clarke’s line, “I don’t know her personally, but I’m pretty sure that’s J.Lo.”
Abdalla then made her way inside to find the Grammy nominee rehearsing with her crew.
Lopez turned around and mouthed back, “Oh, my God. Wait. This is me! Now!” which Abdalla’s character, Allie Hayes, squealed in a now-viral scene from Prime Video’s new romantic drama series — while wearing a replica of J.Lo’s iconic 2000 Grammys Versace jungle dress.
“Love this shooooww,” the songstress — who gave the plunging gown a second lap while closing Versace’s spring 2020 runway show in Milan — gushed alongside a clip of the aforementioned scene.
Meanwhile, Abdalla recently described just how much work went into creating the “unreal” garment, telling Betches UK that “five fittings” were involved.

‘Euphoria’ kills off Jacob Elordi’s Nate Jacobs

He’s not feeling euphoric.
Warning: Spoilers ahead! Do not proceed unless you’ve watched “Euphoria’s” seventh episode of Season 3.
“Euphoria” catapulted Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney and Zendaya into their current status as A-listers, and now, one has been axed from the show.
Season 3 killed Elordi’s controversial character, Nate Jacobs.
He was buried alive in a coffin, with a pipe leading to the surface so that he could breathe. A rattlesnake slithered down the pipe and bit him.
He had been placed there by Naz (Jack Topalian), the gangster he owes about a million dollars to.
Naz’s plan was to leave Nate down there (with a pipe to breathe) for 72 hours while his wife, Cassie (Sweeney) could get the money together.
Unfortunately for Nate, before 72 hours was up, a snake got him. Naz also didn’t make it out alive, as he was fatally shot by Season 3’s other gangster, Alamo (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje). Cassie and Maddy (Alexa Demie) scrambled to get the money together as Nate got dug up, but they got a nasty surprise, as they were met with his dead body.
In the “inside the episode” segment at the end, Elordi said in his post-mortem interview, “It was a cool way to go, Nate is somebody who’s made so many mistakes and so many dark choices.”
First premiering in 2019, the Sam Levinson-created drama initially followed its characters in high school. Elordi, Zendaya and Sweeney were lesser known at the time.
“Euphoria changed my life,” Elordi, 28, told Variety in 2023.
“Saltburn” was the Australian star’s big-screen breakout that same year. Per Vogue Australia, his “Wuthering Heights” co-star Margot Robbie (who produced “Saltburn”) suggested him for the role at the time after watching him in “Euphoria.”
The “Frankenstein” star told GQ UK in 2023 that before landing on the HBO show, “I wasn’t booking jobs. I think I had – I don’t know, $400 or $800 left in my bank account – and ‘Euphoria’ was my last audition before I went home for a little while to make some money and recuperate.”
In the first two seasons, Nate was the show’s villain. He was a high school jock with anger issues – he manipulated, threatened and blackmailed everyone around him, choked his then-girlfriend, Maddy (Alexa Demi), and struck up a relationship with her best friend, Cassie (Sweeney).
Nate’s issues stemmed from finding his father Cal’s (Eric Dane) sex tapes at a young age.
In Season 3, which is set five years after high school, Nate had a dramatically different personality.
His rage issues inexplicably seemed vanished, his demeanor was softer and nicer and he appeared to genuinely love Cassie (instead of using her, like he was in Season 2).
Instead of being menacing, he did a goofy dance at his wedding. After he didn’t get his way in front of a board of bureucrats, rather than blackmail or threaten them, he just pathetically cried and begged.
Outraged fans criticized “Euphoria” for Nate’s inexplicable personality change and slammed it for giving the character a “lobotomy.”
Season 3 saw Nate take over his dad’s construction business, but he ran into issues when he had to stop his build because of an endangered flower – the white fritillary.
The show also revealed that he conned people into giving him money for his construction projects, including the gangster Naz.
In the third episode of Season 3, when Nate didn’t pay Naz the half a million dollars he owed him, Naz interrupted Nate and Cassie’s wedding and had him brutally beaten on his wedding night. It all culminated in Naz cutting off Nate’s toe. However, Nate later got it sewn back on.
Topalian exclusively told Page Six that Elordi did most of his own stunts during the scene where Naz’s henchmen threw Nate around.
“That’s [Elordi] really doing the struggling and the fighting and the falling and all of that,” he told us.
He called Elordi “committed,” “giving,” and “prepared,” but “between scenes, he’s back to being Jacob.”
“Obviously, he gets back into character really quickly,” he went on. “But once [the director calls ‘cut’] even though he’s been beaten and abused, he’s still having a lot of fun. He’s still cracking jokes and doing things like that.”
Elordi told Entertainment Weekly in November that his acting process was different in Season 3. He noted that he likes to “obsess over” his work, and take the time to prepare by going through “every element and construct it and put it together.”
The booked and busy actor – who was in “Frankenstein” and “Wuthering Heights” back to back – noted that he had “no time” to prepare for Season 3.
“And I didn’t have scripts in any kind of full sense. I sort of just had creative conversations with Sam, so I had no choice.”
The “Priscilla” actor also noted that he “loves” Nate, even though most fans hate him.
“I act to understand a different experience, to express an experience that’s different to my own,” said Elordi. “Playing him taught me a lot about empathy and patience, which is strange with a character like that.”
Elordi also told the outlet that Nate’s dark deeds didn’t bother him.
“It’s a real treat to be a part of that show, and to play the quote-unquote bad guy,” he said. “It’s always more fun. You don’t wanna play some morally superior, world-saving loser.”

Robert De Niro had no idea ‘Taxi Driver’ would become a classic

You talkin’ to him?
Robert De Niro had no idea his 1976 film “Taxi Driver” would be lauded as a classic.
“You never can think that you’re doing something that’s going to have an impact,” the actor, 82, exclusively explained to Page Six in a recent interview alongside his fellow Tribeca Festival co-founder Jane Rosenthal to promote next month’s event.
The Oscar winner “just never look[s] at it that way,” he adding, noting that success is “out of your control.”
The neo-noir drama, directed by Martin Scorsese, stars De Niro as an unhinged taxi driver named Travis Bickle, whose mental state deteriorates over the course of the movie.
De Niro acted in the iconic role alongside Jodie Foster, Cybill Shepherd, Harvey Keitel, Peter Boyle, and Albert Brooks.
The project generated controversy at the time for graphic violence and 12-year-old Foster’s casting as a child sex worker — and, later, for inspiring John Hinckley Jr.’s attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan.
Nevertheless, it is considered one of the greatest movies ever made and, in 1994, was designated as “culturally, historically or aesthetically” significant by the U.S. Library of Congress when selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.
The movie, which turned 50 this year, is being screened at the June film festival — and De Niro and Scorsese, 83, will reunite for a conversation about the project.
Their sitdown is just one of many special talks and screenings taking place at this year’s 25th Tribeca Festival.
Not only are interviews with Madonna, Sean Penn and Josh Safdie also scheduled, but there will be special anniversary screenings of “Cable Guy” and “Bridget Jones’s Diary.”
“There are so many great things to see,” Rosenthal told us. “There’s so much music, everybody from Earth, Wind and Fire and Madonna to Noga Erez and Sarah Bareilles and Peter Frampton.
“There’s just a lot to see,” the 69-year-old continued, stressing that the festival is “a welcome festival for all New Yorkers [with] tickets available” now.
The annual event, which runs from June 3 through June 14, was established in 2002 to spur the revitalization of Lower Manhattan following the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center.
