What it actually does

• Melts makeup off instead of scrubbing it off. Oil dissolves oil, which is why this lifts long-wear base and sunscreen without you having to rub at your face.
• Works on what is blocking the pore. Benefit's claim is that it loosens the grime and oil clogging pores, so they look clearer and skin looks less congested as the weeks pass.
• Feeds the skin while it cleans. Four oils — plum kernel, avocado, jojoba seed and grapeseed — bring essential fatty acids such as omega-9, so skin is conditioned rather than stripped.
• Keeps moisture in balance. Ceramide NP is included for exactly that, while bisabolol is there to keep skin feeling comfortable.
• Suits every skin type, including dry. Dermatologist tested, and the brand confirms it for normal, dry, combination and oily skin alike.
• Recyclable packaging. The outer carton is FSC-certified and the bottle is post-consumer recycled aluminium — both recyclable in many areas, so check local guidance.

How to use

1. Start with dry hands and a dry face — no splashing water first.
2. Massage it thoroughly over the face and around the eyes using circular movements.
3. Wet your hands and keep massaging; the oil turns milky as it emulsifies.
4. Rinse off completely.
5. Use it every evening. For the full double cleanse, follow with Good Cleanup Foaming Cleanser from the same line, sold on its own.

Questions

Will an oil cleanser break out oily skin?

Benefit lists oily skin among the suitable types and the product is dermatologist tested. The whole point of the formula is clearing out pore-blocking oil and grime — just rinse thoroughly and follow with a second cleanse if your skin runs very oily.

Do I need a second cleanser after it?

For a thorough double cleanse, yes. Benefit names Good Cleanup Foaming Cleanser from the same POREfessional line as the follow-up step; we stock it on its own.

Can I use it on eye makeup?

Yes — the directions include massaging it over the eye area as well as the face. Keep the movements gentle and rinse well.

Morning or evening?

The brand's instruction is daily use in the evening, which makes sense — this is the step that takes the day's makeup, sunscreen and grime off.

How long does delivery take?

Delivery takes 3 to 21 working days, depending on availability. Bottles we hold in stock reach you sooner; those we bring in for your order sit at the longer end.

Payment and returns?

Credit card, debit card, Instapay and mobile wallets — no cash on delivery. Returns are for defective, damaged or expired items only, reported within 1 day of delivery, refunded to the original payment method within 15–30 days.
