Cleansing Oil
Let’s get started!
Mario Badescu Cleansing Oil
I like this brand and most of its products. The cleansing oil is no different. It removes makeup and dirt. Removes eye makeup, yes your mascara too! Cleans well and leaves skin soft and nourished, maybe due to the oil. Great for double cleansing. It is more affordable than many other oil cleansers and does a pretty good job. Sensitive skin friendly as it is free of nasty ingredients. It works for people with rosacea.

- Affordable
- Contains rice bran & jojoba oil
- Pump dispenser

Cons:
- None
Purito Green Cleansing Oil
If you’re looking for a mild oil cleanser that is gentle, Purito cleanser is all you need. Sensitive skin friendly. It feels good on the skin and leaves your skin nourished. The pump dispenser makes it easy to use. Melts off makeup, even thick layers well.
There is no fragrance and no irritants. Won’t burn or sting you. It has 5 natural oils that make it hydrating. Cleans well and does its job nicely and quickly.
Pros:

Biossance Squalane Cleansing Oil
I like that it is really lightweight and doesn’t feel tacky. Glides easily and breaks down makeup, including eyeliner and mascara. Doesn’t make skin tight or dry. Also cleans nicely.

Burt’s Bees Facial Cleansing Oil
This cleansing oil is great for removing heavy makeup. Works for eye makeup too. Removes mascara easily. It has a nice fragrance and hydrates without being greasy. Comes in recyclable packaging with a pump dispenser. But Amazon has the regular version. Overall, a nice cleanser that works good.
Pros:
- Clean ingredients

Skinfix Barrier+ Foaming Oil Cleanser
It is a nice cleanser that is suitable for mature skin. Clean beauty so no nasties – free of fragrance, sulfate, and essential oil. It is worth the price. One pump is good for my whole face for daily makeup and SPF. It lathers a little and cleans nicely.

Tula Replenishing Oil
A great cleanser for makeup removal. It cleans your face without making it dry. Best for dry skin and sensitive skin as it is fragrance-free. The product is gentle and does a nice job. But the pump wasn’t functioning smoothly for me. Also if you wear heavy makeup, it doesn’t remove all that jazz in one go. Work is needed there.
Pros:
- Clean ingredients
- Sensitive and dry skin friendly
Cons:
- Pump doesn’t function smoothly
Dermalogica Precleanse Cleansing Oil
Go for it if you are looking for an amazing oil cleanser for waterproof makeup. It also gets rid of SPF, dirt, and oil. Non-comedogenic so your pores ain’t clogged. Precleanse is safe for blemishes and acne-prone skin. There is a fragrance and it is pleasant. But if you don’t like fragrance or if it irritates your skin, then it is not for you. I like the formula and how well it performs. Takes off makeup pretty good.
Pros:
- Doesn’t clog pores
- No parabens
- Melts waterproof makeup
Cons:
- Scent is strong
Makeup Remover Wipes
Facial wipes are rinse-free and one time use only. You can’t reuse disposable wipes. Wipes are not eco-friendly and sustainable. So do try to avoid using makeup remover wipes until it is biodegradable or use them only as a last resort.
You can add biodegradable towelettes (like this one; but they ain’t makeup remover). Let’s do what we can for our planet!
The Original MakeUp Eraser
If you don’t like taking off makeup then Makeup Eraser is exactly what you need. Because it is easy to use, you need just water and it works amazingly well. It erases all the makeup easily and without any hassle. It is gentle on your skin and suitable for sensitive skin. The cloth is soft and you don’t need any oil or soap. The Makeup Eraser works like magic. It removes mascara, foundation, eyeliner, and basically all the makeup effortlessly, yes waterproof makeup too.
There are so many cute prints available on Amazon for you to choose from. It is a travel-friendly and eco-friendly alternative to facial wipes.
Pros:
- Vegan
- Reusable, machine washable
- Works effectively; only water is needed
- Removes waterproof makeup
- Suitable for all skin, including sensitive
Cons:
- None
