Deep Cleansing Oil — Reddit Reviews
by DHC
Updated October 17, 2026
Olive-oil cleanser dissolves makeup and sunscreen cleanly; breakout-prone skin may revolt.
What the community says
An olive-oil-based cleansing oil that melts stubborn makeup, sunscreen, and pore debris before rinsing or double cleansing. It suits dry, tretinoin-flaky skin, though the rich formula leaves some users congested, stripped, or dealing with cystic breakouts.
