Emulsifying cleansing oil gently removes sunscreen and makeup; discontinued cult favorite.
What the community says
An emulsifying oil cleanser built for evening sunscreen and makeup removal, with sodium acetylhyaluronate and hydroxypropyltrimonium hyaluronate in the formula. It suits tretinoin users and dry, sensitive skin, though olive oil and ethylhexyl palmitate trigger breakouts for some.
