DHC Deep Cleansing Oil - Facial Cleanser

“The DHC Deep Cleansing Oil is a cult-classic for a reason, effortlessly dissolving even the most stubborn waterproof mascara while leaving your skin feeling incredibly soft and nourished.” - Escentual Beauty Team.

The Most Important Thing About This Facial Cleanser Is...

This is the gold standard of oil cleansers and a true pillar of Japanese beauty. It tackles the common struggle of removing heavy makeup and sunscreen without the need for harsh scrubbing. The biggest benefit is its unique water-soluble formula; it binds to impurities like a magnet but rinses away as a milk, leaving absolutely no greasy residue behind.

Why You’ll Love This Deep Cleansing Oil:

• It effortlessly breaks down waterproof mascara, SPF, and excess sebum in seconds.
• The 100% organic olive oil base nurtures the skin barrier rather than stripping it.
• It transforms your sink-side routine into a spa-like ritual with its silky texture and natural aroma.
• This clever formula saves you time by acting as a powerful makeup remover and deep cleanser in one single step.

Product Claims:

DHC has formulated this oil to provide a thorough deep clean while respecting the skin’s natural moisture balance. It uses the scientific principle of like attracts like to lift oil-based impurities from the pores. The formulation is water-soluble, meaning it emulsifies instantly upon contact with water for a clean, fresh finish.

What The Brand Say:

DHC’s bestselling, cult-classic Deep Cleansing Oil is truly one of a kind.

The original Japanese first step oil cleanser melts away makeup and dissolves impurities, leaving your skin clean, soft and radiant.

The 100% organic olive oil-based formulation works on the scientific premise that like attracts like.

Applied with dry hands on your dry face, this rich, naturally golden-hued olive oil-based cleanser binds with dirt and effortlessly breaks down sunscreen, sebum and stubborn makeup, like waterproof mascara and eyeliner, without clogging your pores.

The water-soluble formula rinses away with zero oily residue.

Its silky feel and delicate, natural rosemary aroma make washing your face feel like a luxurious spa experience.

This botanical formulation features antioxidant-rich organic olive oil and vitamin E to hydrate, soften and protect, and rosemary leaf oil to invigorate and refresh.

Also works great as a makeup brush cleaner.

Hero Ingredients:

Organic Olive Oil is the star here, rich in antioxidants to protect and hydrate your skin while it cleanses. Rosemary Leaf Oil provides a refreshing, herbaceous scent and helps to invigorate the complexion. Vitamin E acts as a natural skin conditioner, helping to keep your face looking youthful and feeling supple.

What Does It Feel and Smell Like?

It has a rich, golden, and velvety texture that glides over the skin with zero friction. Unlike some oils that can feel heavy, this feels cushioning and luxurious. The scent is a delicate, natural hint of rosemary - clean, earthy, and incredibly soothing after a long day.

The Best Way To Use It:

Always start with dry hands and a dry face. Dispense two to three pumps and massage it in circular motions to melt your makeup. Once you see everything dissolving, add a little lukewarm water to emulsify the oil into a milky lather, then rinse thoroughly. My expert tip? It also makes a fantastic, gentle deep-cleaner for your makeup brushes to keep them soft and hygienic.
