Over the past few years, the interest in facial cleansers has reached a fever pitch, with innovative formulas ranging from cleansing oils, cleansing bars and cleansing sticks to cleansing wipes and fun-to-use jelly cleansers. The latest category gaining popularity is mousse facial cleansers, thanks to their skin-soothing whipped formulas.
11 Whipped and Mousse Facial Cleansers That Feel like a Cloud

Too Cool For School
Egg Mousse Soap Facial Cleanser, $20 at Sephora
Don't worry, there's no beating required to fluff up this cleanser. Simply shake the container, tip it upside down and dispense the fluffy formula into hands. The texture feels like meringue and is formulated with egg extracts and milk proteins to smooth and hydrate skin.

NYX Professional Makeup
Stripped Off Whipped Cream Cleanser, $8 at NYX Cosmetics
Applying actual whipped cream to skin may sound appetizing, but it doesn't have the benefits this whipped cleanser delivers. The creamy formula has an airy finish that feels pillow-like on skin.
-
Natura Bissé
Oxygen Mousse, $48 at Nordstrom
This cleanser has the texture of the silkiest mousse but contains a lot of hardworking ingredients. With regular use, the multitasker reduces the appearance of pores, increases radiance and prevents skin from getting dehydrated.

Boscia
Everyday Gel-to-Mousse Cleanser, $30 at Boscia
Not ready to give up your lightweight gel cleanser quite yet? It won't be missed when using this innovative cleanser. Like the name states, it transforms from a gel to a creamy mousse when applied to skin. As it changes, it works to reduce redness plus nourishes and neutralizes pesky acne-causing bacteria.

Shangpree
S-Energy Facial Mousse Cleanser, $35 at Peach & Lily
Those with sensitive skin will love using this gentle mousse facial cleanser. The formula removes impurities without disrupting skin's moisture levels so skin won't be tight or red after use, thanks to the amino acid base and low pH.
-
Skin & Co
Truffle Therapy Whipped Cleansing Cream, $35 at Ulta
Just the name alone makes this cleanser sound luxurious. The Italian-made cream features truffle extract to nourish skin. Apply a dollop of the cream to skin without water. Rub it on in circular motions, then rinse or pat off.

Peter Thomas Roth
Water Drench Cloud Cream Cleanser, $28 at Peter Thomas Roth
This creamy mousse cleanser is the closest thing to rubbing a cloud on skin. After all, it's made with pure water vapor, moisturizing hyaluronic acid and coconut oil.
-
Darphin
INTRAL Air Mousse Cleanser With Chamomile, $30 at Darphin
If heavy, oily cleansers leave skin feeling (or looking) worse, switch to this "air mousse" formula that's designed sensitive skin. It transforms from a liquid into a feather-light mousse to lift away dirt and impurities. With regular use, it promises noticeably softer skin.
-
Lancôme
Crème-Mousse Confort Creamy Foaming Cleanser, $26 at Nordstrom
Lancôme's cleanser passes all of the sensitive skin checkpoints. It's dermatologist and ophthalmologist tested yet powerful enough to remove makeup, including waterproof formulas. The secret is the creamy souffle-like formula that has rosehip oil and Rose de France.

Jurlique
Herbal Recovery Antioxidant Cleansing Mousse, $34 at Jurlique
This contains the best parts of our favorite facial cleansers: It's rich in oils, has a silky feel and easily removes makeup. The frothy mousse formula is also gentle and actually replenishes skin. Go ahead and use it day and night without worrying about skin getting that tight, I-need-moisturizer feeling.
-
Nooni
Marshmallow Whip Maker, $6 at Ulta
Have a fantastic facial cleanser that delivers results, but it's not quite the right texture? Use this unique contraption to turn any face wash into a whipped version. Simply squeeze a pearl-size amount of cleanser on the product's "punch pad." Add water up to the dotted line, then push the pad down. The result is a marshmallowy version of the OG cleanser. It couldn't get any easier — or more addictive.
