What it is

How to use

• PM (recommended): Pump 2–3 doses into dry hands. Massage over a dry face for 30–60 seconds to dissolve makeup and sunscreen. Add a little water to emulsify into a milky texture, then rinse with lukewarm water. Follow with a second cleanser if you double cleanse.
• AM (optional): Use a single cleanse in the morning if you prefer a light refresh. After cleansing in the morning, apply your usual moisturiser and sunscreen.
• SPF reminder: If using this oil in the daytime routine, finish with a sunscreen to protect skin from UV exposure.

Why it works

• Sahara prickly pear seed oil: light emollient that helps maintain skin moisture and a soft finish after cleansing.
• Vitamin E: an antioxidant that helps protect skin from everyday environmental stressors.
• Calendula oil: used for its soothing properties and gentle feel on sensitive skin.
• Sea buckthorn oil: supports skin tone and hydration for a more comfortable post-cleanse feel.
• Annatto oil complex: included for calming and to help the formula cleanse without stripping.

What to expect

• Immediate: makeup and sunscreen should break down and rinse away with no oily residue.
• Short term (days–weeks): skin should feel softer and less dry after regular use as part of a balanced routine.
• Ongoing: when paired with suitable follow-up care (hydrating serums, moisturiser and daytime SPF), you can expect a cleaner, comfortable complexion without over-stripping.
