Refreshing Gel-to-Oil Cleanser

No, the right oil cleanser won’t leave your skin greasy.

Oil cleansers clean using a process called oil exchange. They attract and dissolve sunscreen, makeup, and impurities, then rinse away leaving behind skin-loving nutrients. Instead of feeling slick, your skin should feel soft, nourished, and balanced. If you notice excess oiliness, it may be due to an over-cleansed or weakened skin barrier rather than the cleanser itself. Skin Juice oil cleansers are beneficial for all skin types including dry, sensitive, or combination skin types.

Because oil cleansers work best when applied to dry skin first.

Applying with dry hands to a dry face allows the oil to grip makeup, dirt, and sunscreen before water is added. When you introduce water, the cleanser emulsifies (turns milky) and washes everything away. This method ensures a deep, effective cleanse without stripping the skin, ideal for anyone looking for a gentle face cleanser that preserves the skin barrier.

Yes, you can use our cleansers safely while avoiding the eye area.

Whether you’re using an oil cleanser, balm cleanser, or cream cleanser, you can safely cleanse your face with lash extensions or lifts - just keep product away from the lash line. For makeup removal, use the Smudge Budger microfibre cloth, which gently cleans around the eyes without weakening extensions.

Store your cleanser in a cool, dry place - not in the shower.

Excess water and humidity can dilute your cleanser and reduce its effectiveness. For best results, apply with dry hands before stepping into the shower. This allows the formula to fully adhere to your skin before emulsifying into a silky milk that rinses away impurities. Storing properly also helps preserve your cleanser’s natural and nutritious ingredients.

Because your skin needs its natural oils during the day.

As part of a Skin Juice skincare routine, we recommend cleansing once daily in the evening. Overnight, your skin produces protective oils and secretions that defend against dryness, irritation, and infection. Washing these away in the morning can weaken your barrier and leave skin vulnerable. Instead, a simple water rinse is enough to prep skin for your morning skincare.

Because foaming cleansers can strip the skin and damage its barrier.

Most foaming cleansers rely on detergents that create a “squeaky-clean” feeling - which actually signals your skin has been stripped of its protective oils. This leaves it prone to dryness, irritation, and breakouts. Instead, Skin Juice creates gentle oil cleansers, cream cleansers, clay cleansers and balm cleansers that clean effectively while keeping skin balanced. These are safe for use as everyday options for all skin types, including sensitive skin and as pregnancy safe cleansers.
