oil cleanser

Lipophilic face wash

An oil cleanser is a face-washing product that uses oils to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and sebum.

The principle is that oil breaks down oil-based substances more effectively than water-based cleansers.

Often used as the first step in double cleansing, followed by a water-based cleanser: I use an oil cleanser to remove my makeup before washing my face.
