For gentle but effective makeup removal in just one step,
Tatcha Pure One Step Camellia Cleansing Oil is hard to beat.
Fans of clean beauty will love this 2-in-1 cleanser and makeup remover from Japanese brand Tatcha. It promises to gently melt impurities, erase all traces of even long wear and waterproof makeup, and deliver soft and silky skin. It is designed to thoroughly cleanse the skin without stripping it of its natural moisture, leaving it balanced and nourished.
The soothing formula contains Japanese camellia oil, a lightweight oil that is rich in vitamins and antioxidants, plus anti-aging superfoods such as green tea, rice, and algae that aim to restore health-looking, youthful radiance
To use, simply apply one to two pumps to your hands, massage onto dry skin, then rinse with water. Oil cleansers are often used as part of a double cleanse routine. This is where you first use an oil-based cleanser to remove makeup and follow it with a traditional lathering cleanser and water to give your skin a thorough clean.
However, the beauty of Tatcha Pure One Step Camellia Cleansing Oil is that you only need to do the first step. It is safe to use around the eye area, too, but be sure to remove contact lenses first.
In testing, I liked the subtle smell of the oil. It emulsified into a milk when I added water and removed my makeup effortlessly. My skin felt clean, soft, and smooth, and there was no residue. I was nervous the oil formula might irritate my skin or cause breakouts, but it didn't react.
It's not just me who loves Tatcha Pure One Step Camellia Cleansing Oil, it is highly rated by sites such as Women's Health Magazine and Elle. It also gets 4.5 out of 5 on Sephora with one happy customer saying, "I love the cleanser so much. You only need a small amount to fully cleanse all your makeup off including mascara and liner. Worth it!"
Pros: Suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin, safe for eye area, anti-aging, does not contain mineral oil, cruelty-free, fragrance-free, free from sls, parabens, and phthalates.
Cons: Pricey, better for face makeup
