shu uemura AntiOxi+ Clarifying Cleansing Oil 15.2 oz — Green Tea, Moringa & Papaya for Makeup Removal & Pollution Defense

Shu Uemura AntiOxi+ Clarifying Cleansing Oil is a makeup-removing cleansing oil formulated with green tea, moringa and papaya extracts to dissolve makeup, lift urban pollutants and leave skin soft without stripping.

This lightweight cleansing oil is built for city living and daily makeup removal. Its blend of antioxidant-rich green tea, pollutant-clearing moringa and mild exfoliating papaya helps sweep away sunscreen, foundation and waterproof mascara while targeting micro-sized environmental grime that contributes to dullness. The formula emulsifies into a milky rinse so you can remove impurities thoroughly without a tight or dry finish.

How does this cleansing oil remove stubborn makeup and sunscreen?

The oil base dissolves oil-based products (like long-wear foundation and waterproof eye makeup) more effectively than water-based cleansers. When massaged into dry skin it breaks down pigments and product residues; adding water emulsifies the oil, lifting residue away for a clean rinse.

• Dissolves waterproof mascara and long-wear foundation with gentle massage.
• Emulsifies on contact with water for easy rinsing—no greasy film left behind.
• No need for a second cleanser in many routines; one-step removal for most makeup looks.

What ingredients help combat urban dullness and pollutants?

AntiOxi+ uses a targeted trio: green tea for antioxidant support, moringa to capture and remove pollutant particles, and papaya extract for light enzymatic polishing. Together they act to clear the skin’s surface and reduce the appearance of environmental buildup that can make skin look lifeless.

• Green tea extract supplies antioxidant activity to help protect against daily stressors.
• Moringa extract aids in lifting micro-sized pollutants from pores and skin texture.
• Papaya extract offers mild exfoliation to brighten and smooth the complexion.

How do you use it for best results?

Start with dry hands and a dry face: pump 3–4 doses and massage gently across the face, focusing on areas with heavy makeup or sunscreen. Add a little water to emulsify into a milky texture, continue massaging, then rinse fully—follow with your toner or serum if desired.

• Apply 3–4 pumps to dry skin and massage to dissolve makeup and pollutants.
• Emulsify with water until milky, then rinse completely.
• Use daily as step one in the evening or anytime you need thorough makeup removal.

Will it leave my skin feeling dry or oily after rinsing?

Formulated to rinse clean, this oil leaves skin feeling soft and supple rather than tight or greasy. It removes surface oils and grime while preserving the skin’s natural moisture balance so your skin feels comfortable and prepped for the next skincare steps.

• Nourishing finish: skin feels smooth and never stripped.
• Lightweight texture rinses fully when emulsified with water.
• Suitable for layering under serums or moisturizers without pilling.

Who this is for: Shu Uemura AntiOxi+ Clarifying Cleansing Oil is ideal for people living in urban environments, makeup wearers who use long-wear or waterproof formulas, and anyone seeking a single-step cleanser that targets pollution-related dullness. It works well for normal to dry skin types looking for an effective yet gentle remover; those with very oily or acne-prone skin may prefer to patch-test or follow with a lightweight second cleanser. If you want a radiant, clean base without stripping your skin, this cleansing oil is designed to fit into both minimalist and multi-step skincare routines.
