DermaQuest Universal Cleansing Oil 177,4ml

Nourishing cleansing oil with jojoba, almond, and jasmine

At the end of the day, the skin carries more than just makeup. Sunscreen, sebum, fine dust, and residues of skincare products adhere to the skin surface and can clog pores if not properly removed. A foaming cleanser alone is often not enough, especially with water-resistant formulas. A cleansing oil as the first step naturally dissolves what is oil-soluble without drying out the skin.

The DermaQuest Universal Cleansing Oil is a nourishing cleansing oil with a thoughtful blend of jojoba, sweet almond, meadowfoam, baobab, borage, and rosehip. Upon contact with water, the oil emulsifies into a milky texture that lifts impurities and rinses thoroughly. The skin remains supple, hydrated, and balanced, without leaving a greasy film — the ideal first step in a double cleanse routine.

Benefits

• Dissolves makeup, SPF, and sebum without disrupting the skin barrier
• Nourishes the skin during cleansing with plant oils rich in essential fatty acids
• Protects against free radicals with antioxidants such as coenzyme Q10 and vitamin E
• Effortlessly emulsifies with water into a milky texture that rinses off completely
• Suitable as the first step in the double cleanse, both morning and evening

Active ingredients

Jojoba seed oil: Jojoba is not a classic oil but a liquid wax that closely resembles the natural skin sebum in texture. This makes it well recognized by the skin, helps balance sebum production, and nourishes without clogging pores — suitable for both dry and oily skin.

Sweet almond oil: A gentle, nourishing oil rich in vitamin E and oleic acid. It supports the natural skin barrier, soothes irritated skin, and leaves the skin feeling comfortable and smooth after cleansing.

Meadowfoam seed oil: This stable oil is known for its exceptional ability to retain moisture in the skin. It forms a light protective layer that prevents dryness during the cleansing process and helps the skin maintain its natural moisture balance.

Borage and rosehip oil: Borage oil is one of the richest plant sources of gamma-linolenic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid that nourishes and soothes the skin barrier. Rosehip oil is rich in natural vitamin A and essential fatty acids, supporting skin renewal and a more even skin tone.

Coenzyme Q10 and vitamin E: These two antioxidants protect the skin against oxidative stress caused by free radicals, pollution, and UV radiation. Q10 supports the cellular energy of skin cells, while vitamin E stabilizes the plant oils and nourishes the skin extra.

Frequently asked questions

Does this cleansing oil also work for oily or acne-prone skin?

Yes. Although it may seem contradictory, a well-balanced cleansing oil actually helps with oily skin. Jojoba and meadowfoam support the natural sebum balance, and the non-comedogenic formula cleanses thoroughly without causing the skin to produce extra oil in response to dryness.

Is a separate cleanser still needed after the Universal Cleansing Oil?

Yes, for the best result. The Universal Cleansing Oil is the first step in a double cleanse and mainly removes oil-soluble impurities. A water-based cleanser like the DermaQuest Essential Cleanser then removes water-soluble impurities such as sweat and dust particles.

Can this oil also be used in the morning?

Yes. Although a cleansing oil is often associated with the evening routine, this formula is gentle enough for twice-daily use. In the morning, it helps to gently remove excess sebum and residues of evening products before applying daytime care.
