New beauty and skincare products launching in April 2021

Clarins Gentle Renewing Cleansing Mousse, $54

1/17

One of the most skin- comforting cleansers we’ve come across. The foam removes dirt, makeup and pollution, and gently exfoliates with tamarind pulp extract, an AHA. It’s soap-and SLS-free; instead, it uses organic saponaria extract, a naturally lathering plant. Skin feels clean and so soft; we love the uplifting scent too.
