Updated October 7, 2026

Deep cleansing oil that removes waterproof makeup; thick, non-tightening, and barrier-friendly.

What the community says

A mineral-oil cleansing oil built for first-cleanse duty on heavy sunscreen and waterproof makeup. Dry, rosacea-prone, and tretinoin users like the non-tightening finish. Fragrance and the thicker emulsification step can annoy sensitive skin.
