DHC Pore Cleansing Oil Facial Cleansing Oil — 5 fl oz, Fragrance- and Colorant-Free, Dissolves Waterproof Makeup

DHC Pore Cleansing Oil is a lightweight facial oil cleanser that melts away stubborn makeup and excess sebum while helping pores look clearer and skin appear brighter.

Formulated for oily and blemish-prone complexions, this makeup-removing oil uses the principle that oils dissolve oils: its blend of nourishing carriers and citrus peel extracts lifts waterproof cosmetics, dissolves build-up, and helps gently exfoliate the skin’s surface. The fragrance- and colorant-free formula rinses clean without leaving a greasy film, leaving skin balanced and refreshed.

How does this oil remove heavy or waterproof makeup?

The formulation contains oils that attract and break down oil-based cosmetics and sunscreen, allowing them to be rinsed away without harsh scrubbing. It breaks long-wear pigments into removable particles while protecting the skin’s natural moisture barrier.

• Dissolves waterproof mascara, long-wear foundation, and stubborn eye makeup
• Lifts excess sebum and surface impurities for easier rinsing
• No need for aggressive rubbing—massage gently for effective removal

Will it leave my skin greasy or clogged after use?

After emulsifying with water and rinsing, this cleanser is designed to wash away without a residual oily feel. It aims to cleanse the skin thoroughly while retaining natural hydration, helping skin feel soft rather than slick.

• Emulsifies on contact with water for a clean rinse
• Formulated to avoid heavy residue that can contribute to pore congestion
• Leaves skin balanced and prepped for follow-up skincare steps

How does the citrus extract blend affect skin tone and texture?

Extracts from lemon, orange, and grapefruit peel are included for their natural exfoliating and toning properties; they help remove dead surface cells and promote a refreshed appearance when used regularly. These botanical acids work gently to help the skin look more even and refined, without strong chemical exfoliants.

• Natural fruit extracts mildly exfoliate to smooth texture
• Supports a brighter-looking complexion over time with regular use
• Helps tighten the look of pores by reducing surface congestion

How should I use this cleanser within my routine?

Use as the first step in double cleansing or alone in the evening to remove makeup and daily grime. Massage onto dry skin to dissolve makeup and impurities, add a little water to emulsify, then rinse thoroughly and follow with a water-based cleanser if desired.

• Apply to dry face; massage for 30–60 seconds focusing on eye and T-zone areas
• Add water to emulsify, then rinse fully with lukewarm water
• Follow with a gentle foam or gel cleanser for a deeper double-cleanse if preferred
