Manufacturers advertise cleansing oils as an effective, gentle way to cleanse the face. Although the formulas of some of the 20 products tested have potential for improvement, they still score "good". We can recommend nine of them as "very good". Only Clinique dances out of line.

OilsProduct details
Cleanse your face with the Oil-Based Cleanser, a gentle cleansing oil that enhances your daily skincare routine and provides smoother, silkier, and more hydrated skin. This gentle formula emulsifies upon contact with water, easily dissolving and removing dirt, impurities, and makeup from the eyes and face. It does not dry out the skin and leaves no greasy feeling, making it suitable for all skin types, including very oily and very sensitive skin. Contains squalane and vitamin E to hydrate the skin and protect it from damage caused by free radicals due to its antioxidant properties. It thoroughly cleanses, removes makeup, and hydrates, leaving the skin soft, radiant, and free of impurities. Application: Apply a small amount of the product to dry skin. Gently massage into the face in circular motions until the makeup is completely dissolved and removed. Rinse with warm water or wipe off with a warm, damp towel.
