Dr Dennis Gross Vitamin C Lactic Creamy Cleansing Oil, 6 fl oz — Removes Makeup & SPF, Hydrating Emulsifying Cleanser

Dr Dennis Gross Vitamin C Lactic Creamy Cleansing Oil is a luxurious, emulsifying oil cleanser that dissolves makeup and SPF, then turns milky with water to leave skin clean, hydrated and comfortable without a second cleanse.

This creamy cleansing oil blends nourishing plant oils with two forms of vitamin C and lactic acid to lift away sunscreen, stubborn makeup and everyday impurities. It begins as a silky oil that grips product on contact, transforms to a milk when rinsed, and is formulated to soothe with green tea, apricot oil, sunflower oil and colloidal oatmeal so skin feels balanced rather than stripped.

How does this cleanser remove long-wear makeup and sunscreen?

The formula uses oil-based ingredients to bind and break down oil-soluble products like foundation, waterproof mascara and chemical and mineral SPFs. Massaging it onto dry skin loosens product, and adding water emulsifies the oil into a lightweight milky rinse that lifts residue away.

• Apply to dry skin and massage to dissolve makeup and SPF.
• Add water to emulsify into a milky texture for easy rinsing.
• No second cleanse required for most daily routines.

Will this cleanser dry out or irritate sensitive or dry skin?

Formulated to be hydrating and soothing, the creamy oil includes colloidal oatmeal, green tea and gentle plant oils that help maintain moisture while cleansing. Lactic acid offers mild exfoliation, but in low levels designed to promote brightness without aggressive stripping.

• Soothing ingredients help reduce tightness after rinsing.
• Lactic acid provides gentle surface renewal, not deep chemical peeling.
• Leaves a supple, radiant finish rather than a tight feel.

How does the texture change during use and what finish does it leave?

Out of the bottle it’s a rich, creamy oil that spreads easily and grips makeup; when you add water it emulsifies into a soft milky lather that rinses clean. The result is skin that feels nourished, smooth and lightly dewy rather than oily or over-dry.

• Luxurious creamy oil that transforms to a milk with water.
• Rinses off clean, leaving a hydrated, radiant surface.
• Suitable as a single-step cleanser for makeup and SPF removal.

How should I use it in my routine for best results?

Use this as the first cleanse in evenings or as a single-step wash when removing daily SPF and light-to-medium makeup. Massage onto a dry face to dissolve product, then emulsify with water and rinse; follow with your serum or moisturizer while skin is slightly damp.

• Apply with dry fingertips to dry skin, massage thoroughly.
• Add water to emulsify and continue massaging before rinsing.
• Pat skin dry and follow with treatments or moisturizer.

Who is this for: This cleansing oil is designed for anyone who wears sunscreen and makeup regularly and wants a single, nourishing step to remove them without over-drying. It’s especially helpful for dry, dull or makeup-wearing skin types that benefit from gentle vitamin C, mild lactic acid resurfacing and calming botanical oils.
