How to Use Cleansing Oil

This ritual not only resurfaces and deeply cleanses the skin but the massage + warm washcloth removal boosts circulation, activates lymphatic flow and softens tension which are all foundational to create skin that truly radiates from the inside out.

  • Step 1 | Massage 1-2 pumps of oil onto dry skin (even over makeup) for 1-2 minutes. Tip: Breathe into this moment and focus on areas prone to congestion or tension
  • Step 2 | Place warm, wet washcloth on skin until it cools and gently wipe away product, makeup + buildup (repeat with opposite side of cloth if needed).

New to Cleansing Oils? It may take 2-4 weeks for your skin to fully adjust as your complexion regulates and rebalances.

For an even deeper cleanse and skin reset, try the double cleansing technique with our Cleansing Oil followed by a Cleansing Bar.

Reviews

Calmed my rosacea

"I found out about Primally Pure about a month ago on my search for a more natural way to manage my rosacea which never calmed down after my 2nd baby about 2 years ago. I got the dry skin cleansing oil with the clarifying mist and clarifying cream ritual. Immediately it felt super hydrating and relaxing to use every night. And my skin redness has calmed down significantly. This was after switching to a ketogenic diet about 3 months prior with still little impact to my skin. This ritual has been the solution I have been looking for. My husband also loves the fresh scent. Photos show my skin before Primally Pure, one week after, and about a month later."

Moisturizing

"I was struggling with dry skin after trying Primally Pure’s cleanser for oily skin. I got this one, and it was so much better overnight. Their cleansers really are formulated for what they say! I’ve been using this brand for a few years now and will continue to!"

— Samantha B. (5/5)

Delightful

"Another PP win. I’ve been making my own cleansing oil using similar ingredients… and while I’ve loved my DIY one, I was in the mood to switch it up and splurge on a PP version. The scent is divine and it feels so lovely massaging off my makeup with a steaming towel at the end of the day."

— J H. (5/5)

I’m unsure how to feel

"I’m unsure how to feel about this cleansing oil fully yet. I really like it and I like the routine of using it to cleanse my face. it leaves my skin incredibly hydrated and not feeling stripped like I typically did after using other popular skin cleansers like cerave and other face washes. however I do feel like sometimes it takes a lot of work/detail to make sure there’s no oil left on my skin. i still get breakouts but i also think my skin is potentially adjusting to this new routine as I’ve only been using it for a month. I’m definitely going to continue using it and hope that my skin clears over time!"

Tried It, Now a Must Have. Smells so good!

"I've never been a big "skin care" person and didn't think I needed any products, but this is now a must have. My skin is significantly softer, cleaner, and brighter since using this. I LOVE the scent, it kind of smells like soft eucalyptus. Very spa like. My husband loves the scent too. I put it on every night after my shower. I have very sensitive skin (eczema) and it has never irritated my skin."

— Sierra S. (5/5)

A new favorite!

"I love this serum! I had been using the Clarifying Skin Cleansing Oil for almost two years and recently switched to the Dry Skin alternative. To me, it has a bit more glide and is not as "sticky. " It removes make-up well, smell great and always leaves my skin feeling clean, but still hydrated!"

— Samantha L. (5/5)

Dry skin cleansing oil

"This oil feels nice on the skin, not sure how much it actually cleanses though. I haven’t really noticed a difference in my skin with this vs one of the bars for example."

— Kendall C. (4/5)

Nourishing Cleanser

"I use this alongside the cleansing bar, and I love it. My face feels so clean, but it never feels stripped or too dry. It is perfect for someone with dry skin."

— Cortney M. (5/5)

Good stuff!

"I was pleasantly surprised with this cleansing oil! I was used to using cleansers that left my skin feeling so dry afterwards. This leaves my skin feeling clean but still moisturized!"

— Makenzie T. (5/5)

Love this

"I've never used an oil based cleansing product before, as someone who has struggled some periodic acne I always thought more oil was bad. But this has been great and helps my skin feel moisturized and never stripped/bare!"

— Holly J. (5/5)

Q&A

Hi there! Do your oils have a super strong smell? I love the ingredients but do not like strong essential oils smells on my face. Thanks!
The Dry Cleansing Oil has a subtle essential oil scent. :)
I have rosacea acne. Would this skin care routine be irritating to that? I’m not currently in a flare. Just curious. I’ve never used this kind of skin care and know that the rosacea acne makes my skin sensitive. Any thoughts?
Thanks so much for reaching out! We'd love to share our favorite product picks to help with Rosacea. For cleansing, we would recommend our Baby Bar which is packed full of super nourishing ingredients that help to calm skin without causing further irritation. Next, we would follow up with our Soothing Mist as an effective + healing toner. Finally, we would suggest using our Soothing Serum + CBD to help moisturize the skin and combat inflammation and redness at a deep level. If you need even more moisture you can follow up with our Baby Balm. Once your skin gets to a more "neutral" state we would recommend slowly introducing some of our other products such as our Cleansing Oil or Serums. We hope this is helpful and please let us know if we can answer any other questions.
Hi, Just wonndering which of the cleansers are ok to use to wash off eye makeup?
Thanks so much for your question! The Cleansing Oil is safe to used for make-up removal. :)
I’ve been using this cleansing oil & soothing mist/serum/cream for about two weeks. After the first week, I started noticing small white bumps of acne I don’t normally have. Is it normal for this to appear a week after using? I know there’s an adjustment period, but thought it would be when I first started using it. When should my skin get better?
Hey Alyssa, We are so sorry to hear this! Please email us at [email protected] and we can help troubleshoot this. :) XO, Pure Team
I have been using the double cleanser in the AM and PM. My face has been breaking quite bad. Do you recommend adding anything or doing anything else? I know it might take a while for skin to adjust as well but just wanted to make sure since Acne makes me so self conscious and it’s pretty bad.
Hi Josie, Based on what you've described it sounds like your skin may be experiencing this due to over cleansing. We would recommend limiting oil cleansing to a few times a week and using our Baby Bar to cleanse at night in-between those times. Follow up with Everything Spray to tone + finish with Baby Balm or Beauty Cream to moisturize. In the morning we recommend simply splashing your face with some warm water and using Everything Spray on a cotton pad to remove any residue that built up from the night before. After that point we would encourage you to follow up with our Fancy Face to provide lightweight yet adequate moisture for the day. :) We hope this helps! xo, The Pure Team
