DHC Deep Cleansing Oil
Olive fruit oil with vitamin E, and a richness that most newer cleansing oils have deliberately engineered out in pursuit of a lighter feel. It dissolves sunscreen and base makeup in one pass and emulsifies clean under water. It is also an oil in the old sense, heavy on the skin while you work it, which is the part people either like or cannot get past.
