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.

Lovely Cleansing Oil

"I've been cleansing my skin with oil for a few years now, and am a fan of The Balanced Cleansing Oil. A little goes a long way in dissolving and removing my makeup, and it also clears my pores and leaves my skin smooth and soft. My skin is quick to react if something is "off" for me in a product, and I've experienced only clear and clearer skin with this oil. Recommend!"

Meredith S. (5/5)

Love PPure cleansing oils!

"I was skeptical about oil taking off makeup and dirt residue that accumulated throughout the day. This really does clear my face from it all, and the hot towel makes it feel like a little spa. I know I see so many ppl commenting about the feel-good effects of the hot towel on the face before wiping the cleansing oil off, and as a busy Mom, this really makes me feel like I'm hitting that self care button every night. Thank you for your clean ingredients and helping ppl with combination skin!"

Stamatia M. (5/5)

Love the oil cleanse!

"I love this product! The oil cleanse makes my face feel so refreshing and clean. I have never heard of an oil cleanse before and now I’m hooked. Regular face wash makes me feel like I am drying out my skin. Will be a staple in my skin care routine."

Desiree B. (5/5)

Outstanding Face Wash

"This is the only face wash I use and it’s the very best. I am an older woman who loves skin care and makeup. I am so committed to this wonderful product that I would never use any other. It cleans my face while nurturing my skin."

Marie L. (5/5)

The best!

"I’ve been using the Primally Pure Cleansing Oil and have really enjoyed it. It leaves my skin feeling clean without drying it out, and it removes makeup and sunscreen easily. I love that it’s made with simple, clean ingredients, and the natural scent is light and refreshing. My skin feels soft, hydrated, and balanced after every use. It’s become one of my favorite cleansers!"

Sachiko S. (5/5)

Loveliness

"It is a game changer to cleanse with oil. And it makes my nighttime routine faster, can't beat that. It is great at getting off all my mascara and makeup, and there's no need for extra anything. Love it."

Kate S. (5/5)

Really nice

"I use two pumps to cleanse my face. I love using a warm washcloth to steam and then wipe away the oil. Feels like a mini spa moment in my evening routine."

"I really like this cleansing oil. It has been such a relaxing part of my routine at the end of the day."

Samantha P. (5/5)

A great oil for skin nourishment!

"I purchased this oil to use for taking my make up off! It works great for that but I’ve also loved using it every night on my face for extra moisture. It smells really good too!!"

Gianna G. (5/5)

So far so good!

"This has quickly become my favorite nighttime routine! Smells amazing and calming- perfect for right before bed. Only have been using it for about a week so not totally sure if my skin will love it or not- but so far so good!"

Q&A

Is this product safe to use while pregnant? I am also looking at the plumping bar, clarifying mist, plumping serum, and soothing cream and want to make sure they are safe to use while pregnant. Thanks!
Thank you for reaching out about the ingredients we use and we would be happy to help! Taking extra precautions when it comes to nurturing little lives is of the utmost importance to us. We’ve done extensive research in regards essential oil use during pregnancy + while nursing, and feel confident that all of our products (aside from Fancy Face Serum for which we offer a pregnancy-safe version) do not pose a risk for pregnant/nursing women due to the concentration of oils and recommended usage of the products. We'd be happy to answer any other questions that you have and of course, we always recommend reaching out to your healthcare provider.
While massaging the face, should it feel oily and rich or does it get partially absorbed into the skin? In the tutorial you recommend using about 2 drops (quarter sized dollop), and it seems pretty oily and easy to massage in the video, but when I’m using this amount, most of it gets absorbed into my face and its not so easy to massage the skin (I need to put pressure and my skin gets a bit red). So I just use more than recommended and I am not sure it’s good! Please advise🙏🏻

Does this remove eye makeup?
Hi Hope, The Cleansing Oil is a great option to remove makeup and provide a deep cleanse at the same time. xo, The Pure Team
I’ve loved this cleansing oil and have been using it for 3 months now. I’ve reduced usage to 1-2x a week double cleansing (oil + baby bar)—paying attention to my skin and what it’s asking for. I wash once a day and use water and serum in AM. In the past week my skin has taken a turn for the worse with lots of small and painful acne on my forehead, specifically my temples and all over my chin and jawline. I live in Ohio and our temps have jumped from 65 to 80+ in the past week and a half; plus the humidity has increased by a lot! I understand the general idea of oil cleansing but am stuck on whether to increase my double cleansing or start washing in the morning (in addition to evening routine) or purchase/change to oily skin cleansing oil. I work 9-5 in a small commercial kitchen 5 days a week and spend little time outdoors currently. I sent an email but received a generic response, so I’m hoping to maybe get more info! TIA
Hi Hannah, We're so sorry to hear this! If you could respond to the email that you originally received from us, we'd be happy to provide more assistance. Looking forward to hearing back from you! XO, The Pure Team
