DHC Pore Cleansing Oil — Facial Cleansing Oil 5 fl. oz., Fragrance- and Colorant-Free Emulsifying Makeup Remover

DHC Pore Cleansing Oil is a fragrance- and colorant-free cleansing oil that dissolves stubborn makeup, lifts excess sebum, and helps refine the look of pores without leaving an oily residue.

This multitasking facial oil is formulated for oily and blemish-prone skin types that need a thorough but gentle cleanse. Its blend of nourishing oils works on the principle that oil dissolves oil, binding with makeup and skin sebum so impurities rinse away cleanly. Citrus peel extracts from lemon, orange, and grapefruit add natural exfoliating components to help smooth texture and promote a brighter, more toned-looking complexion.

How does this oil remove waterproof makeup and sunscreen?

The oil’s lipid-rich formula surrounds and dissolves water-resistant cosmetics and heavy sunscreens, allowing them to rinse off without repeated scrubbing. It emulsifies when water is added, turning milky and carrying away residues for a gentle finish.

• Dissolves waterproof mascara and long-wear eyeliner
• Emulsifies with water for easy removal
• Reduces need for rubbing, protecting delicate eye and lip areas

Will it clog pores or leave an oily film?

This cleanser is designed to bind and lift sebum rather than sit on the skin. After massaging in and rinsing, it removes makeup and excess oil while leaving skin feeling clean and soft, not greasy.

• Binds with sebum to extract impurities from pores
• Rinses away cleanly to avoid residue buildup
• Formulated without added fragrance or colorants to reduce irritation risk

What active botanical benefits do the citrus extracts provide?

Extracts from lemon, orange, and grapefruit peels contribute light, natural exfoliating action and help refine surface texture. They support a clearer-looking complexion and a subtly brighter tone without harsh scrubbing.

• Gentle exfoliation to smooth rough patches and dullness
• Helps tighten and tone the skin’s appearance
• Works well for oily and blemish-prone types seeking visible clarity

How should I use this cleansing oil in my routine?

Apply to dry skin as the first step in a double-cleanse or as a single-step evening cleanser. Massage over face and eyes to dissolve makeup, then add water to emulsify and rinse thoroughly. Follow with your regular water-based cleanser if desired.

• Use 1–2 pumps on dry face, massage 30–60 seconds
• Add water to emulsify, then rinse fully with lukewarm water
• Follow with toner or a gentle foaming cleanse for double-cleansing routines

Who is this for: DHC Pore Cleansing Oil suits people with oily or blemish-prone skin who want an effective remover for long-wear makeup and excess sebum without heavy fragrances or colorants. It’s useful for anyone seeking a gentle, oil-based first cleanse that helps clarify texture and promote a brighter-looking complexion while rinsing clean.
