Lipid-Balance Cleansing Oil™

Skincare

€34,95

A silky cleansing oil that turns to milk with water, dissolving makeup, sunscreen and the day's grime without stripping the skin. Cold-pressed safflower oil rebalances the skin's own lipid levels as it works.

The first step of a double cleanse, and gentle enough for the eye area.

  • Safflower oil — cold pressed and rich in nourishing fatty acids and vitamin E, it deeply nourishes the complexion while supporting the skin barrier.
  • Omega-6 (linoleic acid) — an essential fatty acid that helps rebalance the skin's natural lipid levels for a softer, suppler complexion.
  • Moringa extract — an antioxidant that forms a protective shield against damage caused by environmental aggressors such as air pollution and free radicals.
  • Vitamin E — an antioxidant that protects against the ageing effects of free radical damage.

How to use

Use as the first step of a double cleanse, morning or evening.

  • Gently massage into dry skin, including around the eyes.
  • Add warm water to emulsify into a milk and continue to massage.
  • Rinse thoroughly and pat the face dry.
  • Follow with a second cleanser.

For heavy eye make-up, close the eyes and hold the oil over the area for a few moments before emulsifying. If you are new to it, Medik8 recommend a patch test at least 24 hours before first use.
