Emulsifying oil cleanser that removes sunscreen and tret residues cleanly; discontinued.

What the community says

An emulsifying oil cleanser built for PM first-cleanse duty: sunscreen, makeup, and tret flaking. It suits dry, sensitive, and rosacea-prone skin that wants a rinse-clean finish. Breakout-prone users still report occasional CCs.

What people love

  • Emulsifies cleanly — doesn’t hang around
  • Very gentle on dry, sensitive skin
  • Fragrance-free and eye-friendly

Watch out for

  • Can trigger closed comedones or breakouts
  • Discontinued, so repurchasing is a scavenger hunt
  • Olive oil base may be a miss for some
