If you’ve never heard of double cleansing before, don’t worry—you’re not behind. As a cosmetic chemist, I’m here to break it down in plain English, because this simple 2-step routine can seriously upgrade the way you remove makeup.

So… what is double cleansing?

Double cleansing means washing your face twice:

• First with an oil-based cleanser

• Then with a water-based cleanser

It might sound like a lot, but it only takes a few extra seconds—and it’s way more effective than scrubbing once and hoping for the best.

Why not just use one cleanser?

Here’s the thing: not all dirt is the same.

• Oil-based cleanser removes oil-based stuff like makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum (your skin’s natural oils).
  
  

• Water-based cleanser washes away everything else—think sweat, pollution, and any leftover grime.
  
  

A single cleanser usually isn’t designed to tackle both—so one-step cleansing often leaves behind residue or ends up being too harsh.

Start with Re-move

Our gentle but effective Re-move Nourishing Cleansing Oil is designed to be step one. It melts down longwear makeup, SPF, and buildup—without stripping your skin. The thick nourishing oil glides on effortlessly, breaks through gunk, and rinses clean—leaving your skin soft and prepped for your next cleanser.

Pair it with your favorite water-based cleanser and you’re officially double cleansing like a pro.

Why your skin will thank you:

✔️ Cleaner pores
✔️ Fewer breakouts
✔️ Softer, smoother skin
✔️ Better results from your serums and moisturizers

Final word from a chemist:

It’s simple: no one product can do it all well. Double cleansing gives your skin exactly what it needs, in the right order—no stripping, no residue, no guesswork.
