(NAPSI)—Face it, oil makes a marvelous makeup remover. Now, it’s available in a new cleanser, Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Botanical Cleansing Oil, that’s good for all skin types. It’s a noncomedogenic, nonacnegenic innovation that deeply cleanses while maintaining the skin barrier and leaving no residue.

A potent blend of botanical extracts, the cleanser not only efficiently washes away dirt, oil and sunscreen, it’s very effective on stubborn makeup, eliminating the need for double cleansing.

Cleansing Oils: How They Work

“Using oil to clean the skin may not seem logical to some, especially those with oily skin,” says Christina Gabriel, Vice President of Education and Customer Experience. “However, cleansing oils such as Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Botanical Cleansing Oil are an effective way to gently cleanse skin while respecting and nourishing the skin barrier.”

It can do three things:

1. Remove makeup: Lightweight (and powerful) botanical oils are highly efficient at solubilizing makeup and dirt. For long-wear and waterproof eye makeup, first dispense two pumps onto a cotton pad and gently press on the eye area for 10 seconds. Gently wipe outward and repeat if necessary.
2. Cleanse skin: Massage into dry skin, including eye area, and add water to emulsify the oil. The formula lifts and washes away impurities without stripping the skin.
3. Prepare skin for nighttime replenishment: The Midnight Recovery blend of naturally derived ingredients found in the famed serum—including squalane, evening primrose oil and aromatic lavender essential oil—hydrate while maintaining the skin barrier, leaving skin feeling soft, supple and residue free.
