Product details

A pump bottle of Gentle Black Deep Cleansing Oil on a sand-coloured table between black sesame seeds and black currants

Cleanse + nourish

A rich, cushiony cleansing oil with black sesame, black currant and soybean oils, for melting makeup and clearing pores.

The Deep Cleansing Oil is the richer of Klairs’ two Gentle Black oils. Its cushiony texture glides over dry skin to dissolve makeup, sunscreen and the gunk in pores, while a blend of black sesame, black currant, soybean and jojoba oils keeps skin from feeling stripped. Klairs says it suits normal to dry skin best.
