Sunflower oil, olive oil and grapeseed oil make up the bulk of this cleanser, while raspberry, orange peel, rosehip and cucumber oil also make an appearance – basically, it’s very oily, which gives it the power to dissolve make-up straight off of the skin.

While it looks and acts like oil when in the bottle and rubbed into dry skin (that bit takes a while to get used to), it turns into a light, milky, balm-like product when rinsed off with water. And don’t worry if you’re thinking you can’t use this in the shower – it also seems to work pretty well on wet skin too.

Let’s not forget about the addition of vitamin C. The ingredient is heralded in the beauty world as a must-have. It’s up there with retinol, hyaluronic acid and sunscreen in terms of importance.

So working it into a cleansing oil is a bit of a win-win. As an antioxidant, it protects skin from free radicals, UV exposure and inhibits melanin production, meaning less hyperpigmentation, brown spots and a more even skintone. And I have to say, it seems to be working for me.

While CeraVe, Cetaphil and Simple still reign supreme in the face wash stakes, I’m fighting for this underdog every step of the way. This cleansing oil has been a gamechanger, giving me clean, soft and supple skin with minimal effort.
