Oil based cleanser

Once upon a moment, oil was considered a bad word in the skincare world. It’s not the intention to add more oil but rather to remove the existing grease. Oil became the latest as we began to learn, and the skincare industry took cues from other countries ( Hello, Korea).

Oil and water repel each other, but oil and oil attract. (Sorry for the flashbacks of high school chemistry). Oils are hydrating and can cleanse your face without stripping it. They’re great for sensitive or dry skin types. But they also work on any skin type, including acne prone.

We spent hours researching the best cleansing oil on the market. We read hundreds of reviews from customers and considered the many options available. Each was evaluated on its active ingredients, the ability to remove makeup, and overall cleansing without stripping skin. We chose these products after consulting with a skin care specialist and looking at multiple formulas.

Best Overall

Our best cleansing oil comes from one of the most trusted beauty brands in the world. Shiseido’s lightweight cleanser removes waterproof makeup without drying the skin or making it feel tight. Grapeseed oils are its superhero ingredient. It’s a natural oil rich in antioxidants, known for being hydrating, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial. 4

The reviews loved how their skin felt after use and that the product removed all their makeup without harsh scrubbing. It was a significant first step in their double-cleansing routine. Although we dislike the fragrance, many customers have noted that it is pleasant and subtle.
