One of the mildest formulations on our list, this wipe-off milk cleanser from sensitive skincare experts La Roche-Posay is ideal for those who have very sensitive, allergy prone skin. It's even approved by the British Allergy Foundation!

Glycerin, which is naturally found within the skin, is coupled with the brand's proprietary thermal spring water to instantly comfort and cleanse inflamed skin while preserving essential surface oils. Designed to be hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic, using this cleanser daily can help the skin to heal and repair.

The Gelée Milk Cleanser by Neutrogena combines the light texture of a gel with the effectiveness of a milk-based make-up remover, all in one unique cleanser. It eliminates all traces of makeup and debris, without leaving behind any oily residue.

Using a no-rinse formula, simply wipe across the skin using a cotton pad to melt away dirt and impurities. A top choice for taking with you on the go, you can also use it as a wash-off cleanser should you prefer.

With such great reviews on both Amazon and Boots, we simply can't get over how affordable this cleansing milk is! While the low price alone may be enough to justify an almost 5 star rating, we also love how incredibly effective it is at cleansing, hydrating and soothing the skin. 

Packed with plenty of soothing botanicals, this product is designed to calm the skin. In particular, rose water is known for its anti-inflammatory properties - plus, it smells amazing too!

Although it's one of the most gentle formulas on our list, this milk cleanser from Aesop is great for those who wear makeup daily. It glides onto the skin to effortlessly dissolve makeup and dirt, without tugging or scrubbing. 

If you are prone to irritation, this formula contains many soothing ingredients, like grape seed extract and sandalwood. These botanicals also promote moisture retention, skin repair and help to delay visible signs of ageing. 

The ingredients used in this hydrating cleanser not only sounds scrumptious, but are amazing for the skin too! With a rich, creamy consistency, the sweet almond and soya bean emulsion breaks down all the dirt and grime collected under the skin throughout the day.

This allows the pores to breathe, giving your skin a chance to heal and repair. Marshmallow and chamomile are also added to calm irritation, leaving the skin nourished and hydrated.  

The formulation is enriched with dexpanthenol and grape seed oil to ensure that no essential moisture is loss, reinforcing your skin's natural defences. Fortifying the skin barrier is vital for sensitive skin types, as this is the first step in helping it to repair. 

If you want something that will give you a well-hydrated and glowing complexion when you wake up in the morning,this micellar cleansing milk is what you need! A great choice for avoiding "panda eyes" from stubborn eye makeup the day before, the tiny micellar particles travel deep into the pores, attaching themselves to any dirt or makeup before lifting it away.

Designed to be super comforting, moringa extract is added to the formula to help remove pollutants and other toxins. This leaves the face feeling nice and clean, just like a fresh canvas!

If you're looking for an indulgent cleanser and really want to spoil yourself, look no further than this mousse-like formula from Lancôme! While the price tag may be a little hefty, it's enriched with skin-loving goodies that will provide a pleasant cleansing experience. 

Simply massage it into the skin to whisk away any sludge or makeup, then rinse it off. The non-drying formulation contains honey, milk proteins and almond extract to nurture the skin, delivering hydration for a velvety soft finish without any uncomfortable residue. 

Glossier's Milky Jelly Cleanser is one of the brand's most talked-about products by beauty experts and influencers alike, and for good reason! Suitable for all skin types, this facial wash effectively cleanses away built up dirt and oils, as well as removing makeup. 

The formula is especially gentle, using poloxamer, which is a cleansing agent typically found in contact lens solutions. Soothing and nourishing, it won't irritate even the most sensitive skin and can help calm hormonal acne flare ups. Our only gripe is that the price is quite steep compared to the other cleansers on our list.
