Midnight Recovery Botanical Cleansing Oil

Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Botanical Cleansing Oil turns the last chore of the day into the best part of it. Massaged onto dry skin, this lightweight botanical oil melts stubborn makeup; add water and it transforms into a soft cleansing milk that rinses everything away without leaving skin stripped or tight.

What it actually does

• Dissolves what cleansers can't. Oil breaks down even hard-to-shift makeup and daily buildup, gently but thoroughly — no scrubbing at your eyes.
• Cleans without over-drying. The oil-to-milk transformation lifts impurities while respecting the skin's own moisture.
• Feeds skin on the way out. A blend of botanical oils — squalane-type plant lipid with a natural affinity for skin, omega-6-rich evening primrose oil, and lavender essential oil — leaves skin balanced, soothed and ready for your night routine.
• Careful formulation. Sulfate-free, soap-free, free of mineral oil, noncomedogenic, and ophthalmologist tested for the sensitive eye area.

How to use

1. Massage the oil over dry skin — makeup, SPF and all.
2. Wet your hands and keep massaging: the oil emulsifies into a milky cleanser.
3. Rinse thoroughly to carry makeup and impurities away, then continue with your evening skincare.

Is it right for you?

Questions

Will it take off eye makeup?

Yes — dissolving tough makeup is its main job, and the formula is ophthalmologist tested for the sensitive eye area. Massage gently over closed eyes, then emulsify and rinse.

Does it leave a greasy film?

Not if you emulsify properly. The water step turns the oil into a milk that rinses clean — skin is left comfortable and balanced rather than coated. It's also noncomedogenic and free of mineral oil.

Do I still need a second cleanser?

It's formulated as an all-in-one cleanse. If you love double cleansing, you can follow with a gentle water-based wash on heavy-makeup days, but for most evenings it stands alone.
