This plant-based cleanser melts away makeup while keeping skin hydrated and happy.

On a typical day, I layer sunscreen with primer, foundation mixed with a few drops of liquid bronzer, set it with powder, then a sweep of cream blush and highlighter. If I’m dressing things up, I’ll add lip liner and gloss, plus mascara, even on the lower lashes, which makes it a full face that requires a proper wash. For my sensitive skin, a double cleanse is essential. Starting with a dedicated makeup remover and following with a cleanser helps ensure my pores stay clear, as leaving any residue behind can trigger breakouts seemingly overnight.

The formula leans heavily on plant oils, with 14 in total, which make up 87% of the ingredient list. Argan kernel oil brings conditioning benefits and helps balance excess sebum, while jojoba seed oil, rich in vitamins and omega fatty acids, replenishes moisture without clogging pores. Rice bran oil offers mild exfoliating properties that can help soften the look of enlarged pores, and olive oil, naturally high in vitamin E, helps calm flaky patches and support the skin barrier. Camellia oil and evening primrose round out the blend to revive dull-looking skin.

Other ingredients include squalane for lightweight hydration, tea tree leaf oil for its clarifying properties and rice ferment filtrate, a K-beauty ingredient favored for supporting smoother-looking skin.

I spend extra time massaging the oil around my nose, where blackheads and whiteheads tend to concentrate. Post-cleanse, they often appear more pronounced, making them tempting to extract. But with consistent use over the past month, I’ve seen fewer clogged pores overall, likely because the formula helps dissolve the sebum and debris that contribute to them in the first place.

Once I’ve worked in the oil, I add a splash of water to emulsify, which turns milky almost instantly, then follow with a gentle cleanser and rinse with lukewarm water. Occasionally, I’ll swipe a toner pad across my skin to catch any leftover traces of makeup, but since incorporating the cleansing oil, that pad has come up clean every time, a reassuring sign that the first step of my double cleanse is doing its job.

“I cannot say enough good things about this oil. At 75, I have dehydrated skin, and after taking a semi-glutied I was even drier, and my skin was looking bad. In a matter of days, using this product, my skin feels like itself again. Soft and missing the wringkly effect that is so horrible. Even if I skip a day, after a few days of using it, my skin stays hydrated and feels and looks better. Thank you for this product.” —cheryl womack

“This oil-based cleaner is amazing. I use it daily. I’ve had blackhead problems for almost my entire life. This has helped minimize my pores and clean them out. This is the only thing that I have ever found to help with acne and blackheads. They are not gone all the way, but I’ve been consistently using and notice a difference. I use this and then the cleansing foam from the same brand. Smells nice, like orange and earthy. Great for sensitive skin. Makes skin soft, smooth, and moisturized.” —Catlover

“I have a mixture of oily and dry skin, and was looking to buy a gentle but thorough cleanser. The cleansing oil was light and applied smoothly on my skin, removing clogged pores. The product was great on my sensitive skin and felt hydrating afterwards. I’m looking forward to using this cleanser daily!” —Prettysky

“I absolutely love this cleansing oil — it has truly become my staple. I think this is already my fourth bottle, and every time it works just as perfectly. The size is great for daily use, and one bottle lasts a long time. It melts away makeup effortlessly and leaves my skin soft and clean without any dryness.

The texture is silky and lightweight, and it rinses off easily without leaving a greasy film. I also appreciate the gentle ingredients — it contains natural oils and nourishing extracts that never irritate my skin. My skin always feels refreshed and balanced after using it, which is why I keep coming back to this specific formula.

They also have a green version, but this one is definitely my favorite. It suits my skin so well, feels gentle, and consistently delivers great results. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and effective cleansing oil.” —Irina Korsakova

“This product absolutely has been saving my skin! It lasts me surprisingly long and makes my skin so smooth! It helps get rid of all my pesky blackheads. I thought, like other products, it would leave my feeling oily, but I’ve never been happier adding something to my skincare routine! I did have to learn how to use it properly: apply on dry skin and massage on for a few minutes. Add water and massage until it’s gone.” —Amber
