In our tests of facial cleansers, Pond's Cold Cream and Bioré Pore Perfect Daily Deep Pore Cleansing Cloths scored far below the pack. Some panelists said that Pond's left a greasy residue on the skin and was the hardest to remove, requiring tissues or a warm washcloth. For removing makeup, however, cold creams generally do a decent job.

Panelists who used Bioré cloths, the lowest-rated product overall, ended up with the most pimples, though they were minimal. The label doesn't instruct you to rinse after use, which could leave a residue. Also, we found irritants in the ingredients that could lead to breakouts.
