DHC Deep Cleansing Oil 200ml

Product Information

Anyone who’s ever worn makeup will understand that getting stubborn makeup off is the worst after a long night out. Waterproof mascara, layers of foundation, dramatic eyeliner – often you wake up with a residue of last night’s look still present. These ingredients are rich in antioxidants that help maintain skin’s moisture barrier and help fight free-radical damage, i.e., accelerated skin aging caused by common free radical triggers like UV rays, pollution, cigarette smoke, and environmental toxins.

I'm in my early thirties, so I'm at that unique stage of life where I'm dealing with both acne and wrinkles (#blessed). I tried the DHC cleansing oil for the first time about a year ago and it's been a permanent staple in my routine since. This is not an easy club to get into, as I have sensitive skin, am an admitted skincare snob, and hate change. I'm also a licensed cosmetologist and have been reviewing products for over a decade, so my standards are abnormally high. Needless to say, I don't invite new products into my routine often. Whether your cleansing routine involves one, two, or three steps, a cleansing oil should probably be a part of it. Generally used as the first cleansing step (and skincare step as a whole), these face cleansers not only remove makeup and grime, but they also have added skincare benefits. Double cleansing is achieved by using an oil based cleanser, then something water based to remove the excess. Oil cleansers are also best when it comes to removing makeup, excess sebum and dirt; without being harsh to skin.
