Medik8 Lipid-Balance Cleansing Oil
Lipid-Balance Cleansing Oil is the first step of a proper evening cleanse — a silky oil that emulsifies into a milk on contact with water and takes SPF, makeup and the day's build-up with it when it rinses.
This matters more than most people think. Modern sunscreens are designed to resist water and sweat, which means a water-based cleanser alone will not fully remove them. Whatever is left sits on the skin overnight and blocks whatever you apply next. An oil cleanse is not an indulgence if you wear SPF daily — it's the thing that makes the rest of the routine work.
Built on cold-pressed safflower oil, which is around 70% omega-6, so it replenishes the lipid barrier while it cleanses rather than degreasing it.
BEST FOR
- Daily SPF wearers — which should be everyone
- Makeup removal, including eye makeup
- The first step of an evening double cleanse
- Dry, dehydrated and mature skin
- Skin that feels stripped after washing
- Anyone whose products seem to sit on the surface rather than absorb
KEY INGREDIENTS
- Cold-Pressed Safflower Oil — around 70% omega-6, supports the natural lipid barrier
- Olive Fruit Oil — dissolves makeup and sunscreen
- Moringa Seed Oil — purifies and defends against pollution
- Vitamin E (Tocopherol) — antioxidant support
USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
Massage into dry skin, including over eye makeup. Add warm water to emulsify into a milk, continue massaging, then rinse thoroughly and pat dry.
