DHC Deep Cleansing Oil

The original Japanese olive-oil cleansing oil — DHC's most famous product, on Japanese shelves since 1989, and the cleanser that introduced most of Japan to the double-cleanse routine.

DHC is one of Japan's largest direct-sales cosmetics companies, headquartered in Tokyo. The Deep Cleansing Oil dissolves makeup, sunscreen and sebum without stripping the skin, using a base of 100% organic olive oil and vitamin E. Applied to dry skin with dry hands, the formula clings to oil-based impurities (waterproof mascara, sunscreen, foundation), then emulsifies with water and rinses cleanly — no oily residue, no clogged pores.

What's good about it

• Breaks down sunscreen, sebum and stubborn makeup including waterproof mascara
• 100% organic olive oil base, with vitamin E and rosemary leaf oil
• Water-soluble — rinses cleanly without oily residue
• Doubles as a makeup-brush cleaner
• Fragrance-free and colourant-free
• Available in 150ml and 200ml sizes

How to use

On dry skin with dry hands, massage 3 pumps of cleansing oil into the face for 30–60 seconds, including over the eye area. Add a little water and continue massaging until the oil emulsifies (turns milky). Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Follow with your regular face wash if you double-cleanse.
