1. Tatcha Pure One Step Camellia Cleansing Oil
This luxurious and anti-aging cleansing oil features the light and vitamin-rich camellia oil, as well as rice bran oil. It has a luxurious texture, and is great for all skin types but especially those with sensitive, dry, and mature skin. The packaging is totally beautiful, and since it contains emulsifiers it can be removed with water. You can buy a bottle at Sephora.

2. Julep love your bare face Hydrating Cleansing Oil
This is one of the best oil cleansers for all skin types, including those with oil or acne-prone skin. It feels light and yet it melts down all kinds of makeup including waterproof mascara, and can be removed with just a bit of water. Its key oils are the light grape seed oil and the slightly heavier olive oil, with some added anti-aging and anti-inflammatory ingredients. You can find it for sale at Nordstrom.

3. Origins Clean Energy Gentle Cleansing Oil
This is a refreshing cleansing oil with a long list of natural oils that work together to break down makeup and moisturize the skin. It works great for all skin types, although those with very sensitive skin might want to stay away (or at least patch test) since it is scented with a lot of essential oils. Once water is added to this oil cleanser, it turns milky white, and is ready for rinsing. It is available for purchase at Nordstrom.

4. Tata Harper Nourishing Oil Cleanser
One of the most effective and therefore best facial oil cleansers is this offering from the organic beauty brand Tata Harper.

It is a great choice for all skin types, and like the other cleansing oils on this list it can also be removed with water. If you’d like to give it try, you can find it at Sephora.

5. Kopari Coconut Cleansing Oil
If you simply love coconut oil, then definitely try out this facial oil cleanser! It combines coconut oil with a few lighter oils to give a more fluid texture, but it still has all the anti-inflammatory benefits of the lauric acid. It removes makeup perfectly and can be removed with nothing but a splash of water. You can buy it from Nordstrom.

6. DHC Deep Cleansing Oil
This might be the product that started it all, and it is still one of the best facial oil cleansers around. Formulated primarily with olive oil, it has a nourishing and moisturizing effect that leaves the skin clean and radiant. It works for almost everyone, but if you’re super acne-prone, you might want to patch test it first. You can find this oil cleanser for sale at Dermstore.

7. Kiehl’s Since 1851 Midnight Recovery Botanical Cleansing Oil
This lavender-scented cleansing oil is gentle on the skin, containing lovely oils like squalane and evening primrose. Once it has dissolved all the impurities, a touch of water will turn it into a luxurious cleansing milk that can be removed with a splash of water.

Makeup artists usually love cleansing oils because they’re so quick and easy to use. That’s why it makes sense to see a great cleansing oil from Bobbi Brown’s brand.

Using a La Mer product is always a luxurious experience, maybe because of the price point, but you can’t deny that they’re making some of the best oil cleansers out there.

It’s a great choice for all skin types, so you can pick it up from Nordstrom.
