Struggling to remove stubborn, waterproof makeup without leaving your skin feeling tight and stripped? This nourishing cleansing oil is your solution. It's a rich, smooth oil that dissolves everything from foundation to waterproof mascara, serving as the perfect first step in a double-cleansing routine, especially for those with normal to dry skin in Mauritius.

If your skin feels dry and looks dull after removing makeup, this cleansing oil helps restore moisture and brightness right from the first step of your routine.

• Product Type: Oil-based Cleanser (First Cleanse)
• Best For: Normal to Dry Skin
• Core Benefits: Melts away heavy and waterproof makeup, nourishes the skin, provides a brightening effect.
• Key Feature: Formulated with Rice Bran Oil and Jojoba Oil to moisturize and soften the skin while cleansing.

1. Step 1 (PM): On a dry face, massage 2-3 pumps of this cleansing oil to dissolve makeup and sunscreen. Add a splash of water to emulsify into a milky texture, massage again, and rinse thoroughly.
2. Step 2 (PM): Follow with a water-based foaming cleanser to remove any remaining residue.
3. Step 3 (PM): Apply your favourite moisturiser to lock in hydration.

Mindful Tip: Already own a makeup remover or oil cleanser? Finish that first to avoid waste. This product is a substitute, not an addition.

This oil cleanser is the essential first step of an evening double-cleanse routine, especially on days you wear makeup or sunscreen.

• Minimalist PM Routine (3 steps):
  1. [THIS PRODUCT] Rice Water Bright Rich Cleansing Oil (to dissolve makeup/SPF)
  2. Water-Based Cleanser (to deep clean pores)
  3. Moisturiser (to hydrate and protect)
• Optional PM Additions:
  • Hydrating Toner/Serum: Apply after cleansing for an extra layer of moisture before your cream.
  • Exfoliant (1-3x/week): On nights you don't use this, you can use a gentle exfoliant to improve skin texture. Avoid using strong exfoliants on the same night as other potent actives.

Texture Rule: Always apply products from the thinnest to thickest consistency. As a cleanser, this oil is the very first step on dry skin.

Daily Use — PM Only:

• Amount: 2-3 pumps.
• Apply to: A completely dry face, including eyes and lips if removing makeup.
• Method:
  1. Dispense oil into dry hands and gently massage onto your dry face for 30-60 seconds to dissolve makeup and impurities.
  2. Add a small amount of lukewarm water to your hands and massage your face again. The oil will turn into a milky white emulsion.
  3. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
  4. Follow immediately with a water-based (foaming) cleanser for a complete double cleanse.
• Frequency: Use every evening, especially when you have applied sunscreen or makeup.

If-This / Then-That:

• If you wear waterproof mascara: Gently press and hold the oil over your closed eyes for a few seconds before massaging to allow it to break down the makeup effectively.
• If your skin feels tight after cleansing: This rich formula is designed to prevent that, but ensure you are following up with a gentle, non-stripping second cleanser.
• If you have very oily skin: Consider the 'Light' version of this cleansing oil, which is better suited for your skin type.

• Immediately: All traces of heavy makeup, sunscreen, and daily grime are removed. Skin feels soft, nourished, and clean without any tight or stripped sensation.
• After 2-4 Weeks: With consistent evening use as part of a double-cleanse routine, you may notice a brighter, more even-toned complexion. Pores may appear clearer as sebum plugs and impurities are effectively dissolved daily.
• After 8+ Weeks: Skin's texture feels smoother and looks more radiant. The nourishing effects of the rice bran and jojoba oils contribute to a healthier-looking, supple complexion.

• Why use THIS, not plain coconut oil? While coconut oil can dissolve makeup, it doesn't contain emulsifiers. This means it doesn't rinse clean with water, often leaving a greasy, pore-clogging film behind. An emulsifying cleansing oil like this one turns milky with water and rinses away completely, taking all the dissolved impurities with it.
• Why use THIS, not makeup wipes? Makeup wipes often just smear makeup, dirt, and oil around your face without truly removing it. They also require harsh rubbing, which can irritate the skin barrier and cause sensitivity over time. A cleansing oil melts everything away gently and effectively with minimal rubbing.

As a rinse-off cleanser, this product is compatible with virtually all other skincare ingredients and products. It prepares your skin for the next steps in your routine.

• Works Well With: Any water-based cleanser, toner, serum, moisturiser, or active ingredient (like retinoids or acids) that you apply after cleansing.
• Use Carefully With: N/A. Since it is thoroughly rinsed from the skin, it does not interfere with leave-on products.
• Avoid On: Do not apply to wet skin, as this will prevent the oil from effectively dissolving oil-based impurities. Always start on a dry face.

• Excellent For: Normal, Dry, and Dehydrated skin types who need a nourishing cleanse that doesn't strip moisture.
• Good For: Combination skin, especially during drier seasons or if the skin leans more towards the dry side.
• Use With Caution: Very Oily and Acne-Prone skin. While it can be effective, the "rich" texture may feel heavy for some. The 'Rice Water Bright Light Cleansing Oil' is a more suitable alternative from the same line for these skin types. The ingredient Isopropyl Myristate has a moderate potential to clog pores in sensitive individuals.

• Heavy Makeup & Sunscreen Removal: Effectively dissolves and removes waterproof mascara, long-wear foundation, and mineral or chemical sunscreens.
• Dullness: Rice water and rice bran oil are known for their brightening properties, helping to restore a natural glow to the skin with consistent use.
• Dryness & Tightness: The rich, emollient oils provide moisture and nourishment during the cleansing step, leaving skin feeling soft and comfortable, not stripped.
• Clogged Pores: Helps to dissolve sebum and oil-based impurities within the pores, reducing the appearance of blackheads over time.

• EU Allergens: The full list of potential EU allergens within the "Parfum" is not disclosed by the brand. Patch testing is always advised for sensitive skin.

Who should use with caution: Individuals with very oily, acne-prone, or clog-prone skin should consider the 'Light' version. Those with a known sensitivity to fragrances should patch test first.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a pea-sized amount of the oil to a small, discreet area of skin, such as behind your ear or on your inner jawline.
2. Massage and rinse as you would on your face.
3. Wait 24-48 hours to check for any signs of irritation like redness, itching, or burning.
4. If no reaction occurs, the product is likely safe for you to use. Discontinue use if any irritation develops.

Safety: For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Keep out of reach of children.

• Texture: A rich, viscous, yet smooth oil that glides easily over the skin without feeling overly heavy or sticky.
• Finish: After rinsing, it leaves the skin feeling exceptionally soft, nourished, and hydrated, with no greasy residue.
• Scent: A clean, powdery floral fragrance.
• pH: Not applicable for an oil-based, anhydrous (water-free) product.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains Isopropyl Myristate, which may be a potential trigger for fungal acne in highly sensitive individuals. Individual responses vary.

• Issue: My skin feels greasy after rinsing.

  Solution: You may not be emulsifying correctly. After massaging the oil on your dry face, make sure to add a small amount of lukewarm water and massage again for at least 20-30 seconds until the oil turns fully milky. This step is crucial for a clean rinse.

• Issue: I think it's causing breakouts.

  Solution: Ensure you are following up with a water-based cleanser (double cleansing) to remove all oil residue from your pores. If breakouts persist, you may be sensitive to one of the ingredients (like Isopropyl Myristate or the fragrance). Consider switching to the 'Light' version or a fragrance-free alternative.

• Humid Summer: This 'Rich' version may feel a bit heavy for very oily skin types during Mauritius's most humid months. It remains an excellent choice for normal to dry skin types year-round.
• Drier Winter/AC Environments: Perfect for all skin types during the cooler, drier winter season. If you spend long hours in air-conditioning, this oil will help ensure your skin isn't stripped of moisture during cleansing.

"It's my must product for double cleansing!! Makeup or no makeup, it works like a charm in removing makeup and other impurities and leaves the skin clean and soft. It's mild fragrance is also calming and refreshing."

– The Face Shop India customer review (2022-02)

"I love the face shop products, this and their other oil cleansers are good at removing everything. The only thing is this one isn't as good for sensitive skin since they both have fragrance."

– StyleKorean customer review (2025-03)

Fair Caveat: "I used it for just 2 days and my skin exploded in tiny bumps (comedonal acne). It looked like every pore was clogged overnight... If you have acne-prone or sensitive skin, please learn from my mistake and stay far away from this product."

1. Do I still need a second cleanser after using this oil?

Yes, for a proper double cleanse. The oil cleanser is designed to break down and dissolve oil-based impurities like makeup and sunscreen. A water-based foaming cleanser is then needed to wash away the oily residue and deep clean your pores.

2. Is this product suitable for oily or acne-prone skin?

This 'Rich' version is specifically formulated for normal to dry skin. If you have oily or acne-prone skin, we recommend 'THE FACE SHOP Rice Water Bright Light Cleansing Oil' from the same product line, which has a lighter texture.

3. Will this cleansing oil clog my pores?

It is formulated with emulsifiers to rinse clean with water, which helps prevent clogged pores. However, it contains Isopropyl Myristate, an ingredient that some acne-prone individuals find comedogenic. As with any new product, we recommend patch testing and monitoring your skin's response.

4. Can I use this to remove eye makeup?

Yes, it is effective at removing waterproof eye makeup. Apply to a dry face, and gently massage over closed eyes to break down mascara and eyeliner. Be careful not to get the product directly into your eyes. Rinse thoroughly.
