Skin-Identical Lipid Advanced Cleansing Oil

How do I use the Skin-Identical Lipid Advanced Cleansing Oil?

Massage 1-2 pumps onto dry skin until makeup, sunscreen and impurities dissolve. Add water to emulsify, then rinse thoroughly. Follow with a gentle cleanser if desired.

Do I need to pair the Cleansing Oil with a second cleanser?

It works as the first step of a double cleanse or on its own for dry or sensitive skin. A second cleanse helps most after heavy makeup or water-resistant sunscreen, or for oily skin.

What is a skin-identical lipid, and why is it good for my skin?

Skin-identical lipids are the same types found in your skin barrier: ceramides, sterols and fatty acids. They help replenish skin as you cleanse so it feels soft, not stripped.

Can I use the Cleansing Oil around my eyes and to remove eye makeup?

Yes. It's ophthalmologist-tested and designed to remove eye makeup comfortably, including waterproof mascara. Close your eyes, massage gently over lashes and lids, then rinse.

What are the key ingredients in the Cleansing Oil?

A Linoleic-rich Lipid Complex, OilShift™ Technology, Ceramide NP and Oil-Soluble Vitamin C. Free from fragrance, essential oils, alcohol, propylene glycol and traditional foaming surfactants.

What are the hero oils in the Cleansing Oil and why?

Sunflower Seed Oil, Grape Seed Oil, Sea Buckthorn Seed Oil, and Linoleic and Linolenic Acid. They dissolve stubborn impurities while leaving skin nourished and comfortable.

How do I choose between the Derm Dissolve Cleansing Balm and the Cleansing Oil?

Both suit all skin types and dissolve makeup, SPF and buildup. Choose the Balm for a solid, buttery texture, or the Oil for a cushiony texture that glides without dripping.

Why does the Cleansing Oil turn milky?

The oil is self-emulsifying, so it turns into a milky rinse the moment water hits it and washes away with zero residue. We call it OilShift™ Technology.

Is the Cleansing Oil safe for sensitive skin?

Yes. It's dermatologist-tested to be non-irritating and made without fragrance, essential oils, alcohol, propylene glycol or traditional foaming surfactants.

Will the Cleansing Oil clog my pores?

No. The formula is tested non-comedogenic, and its linoleic-rich lipids and ceramides support the skin barrier without clogging pores.

Is the Cleansing Oil vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes. It's formulated without animal-derived ingredients and is never tested on animals, at any stage.

Does the Cleansing Oil contain fragrance?

No. It's formulated without fragrance or essential oils, so there's no added scent.

Can all skin types use the Cleansing Oil?

Yes. It's designed for all skin types, including sensitive and oily. Dry skin can use it as a one-step cleanse; oily skin can follow with our Gel Cleanser if needed.

Can I use the Cleansing Oil if I have oily skin?

Yes. Oil dissolves oil, so a cleansing oil is one of the most effective ways to remove excess sebum. Ours is non-comedogenic and rinses clean. Follow with our Gel Cleanser for a deeper clean.

Can I use the Cleansing Oil morning and night?

Yes. It's gentle enough for twice-daily use. Use it at night to remove makeup and SPF, and one pump on its own in the morning for a quick, comfortable cleanse.
