Makeup Dissolving Transforming Cleanser

Say goodbye to stubborn makeup. Lipid-Balance Cleansing Oil is proven to effortlessly remove heavy makeup wiht no oily residue - even around the eyes - along with sunscreen and daily impurities.* 

Dispensed from a fuss-free pump, the transformative formula changes from a silky oil into a milky emulsion upon contact with water. It gently dissolves any lingering residue to leave the skin feeling soft, supple and perfectly balanced. 

Also enhanced with anti-pollution technology, Lipid-Balance Cleansing Oil purifies the skin following daily exposure to environmental stressors (such as air pollution). 

We recommend Lipid-Balance Cleansing Oil as the perfect first step of a double cleanse regimen. Suitable for all skin types, but most suited to drier skins.

Key Ingredients
Safflower Oil

Cold pressed safflower oil is rich in nourishing fatty acids and vitamin E giving Lipid-Balance Cleansing Oil its unctuous, silky texture. It also works to deeply nourish the complexion while supporting the skin barrier.

Omega-6 (Linoleic Acid)

Making up 70% of the cold pressed safflower oil, omega-6 is an essential fatty acid which helps to support the skin's natural lipid barrier. This helps to promote a soft, supple and healthier-looking complexion.

Moringa Extract

A powerful antioxidant, moringa extract (pronounced 'mor-ING-er') works to remove excess impurity build up that has accumulated on your skin throughout the day.

Vitamin E

A powerful antioxidant that's naturally present in the skin, Vitamin E works to nourish the complexion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Lipid-Balance Cleansing Oil be used to remove eye makeup?
Yes. Lipid Balance Cleansing Oil is suitable for use around the delicate eye area. Gently apply 2 pumps of Lipid-Balance Cleansing Oil and massage into dry skin. Close your eyes and gently sweep across the eye area - holding down gently for a few moments over heavy eye makeup. Add warm water to emulsify into a milk and continue to massage across the rest of the face. Rinse thoroughly and pat face dry.
Can I use Lipid-Balance in the morning as well as the evening?
Absolutely. Lipid-Balance Cleansing Oil is the perfect nourishing cleanser for both AM and PM use.
Is Lipid-Balance Cleansing Oil safe to use during pregnancy?
As general guidance, this product does not contain any ingredients which we would recommend to avoid during pregnancy, unless advised by your doctor.
If performing a double cleanse, what cleanser should I use after Lipid-Balance Cleansing Oil?
Lipid-Balance Cleansing Oil is the perfect double cleanse partner to any other cleanser within our expert-led range. However, if you're looking for targeted radiance-boosting results, we would recommend pairing Lipid-Balance Cleansing Oil with Surface Radiance Cleanse. If you're looking for a gentle cleanse for sensitive skin, try pairing with Micellar Mousse.
