Micellar Oil Cleanser

Micellar Oil Cleanser

Silky, non-stripping cleanse

A silky oil-to-milky cleanser designed to gently dissolve makeup, SPF, and daily buildup.

What it does
This oil-to-milk formula helps break down makeup, mineral sunscreen, and daily impurities. Grapeseed oil and squalane help condition the skin, while micelles lift away dirt and debris. When water is added, the cleanser transforms into a light milky texture that rinses away easily.

Why we made it this way
Cleansing should remove the day without leaving skin feeling tight or over-cleansed. This formula combines nourishing oils with micellar technology so makeup, sunscreen, and buildup can be lifted away while skin continues to feel comfortable.

Press

“I’m obsessed with the Micellar Oil Cleanser. It’s so gentle but is really effective. I wear a lot of mineral sunscreen which can be hard to remove, but this product gets every last bit off my skin.” - CLAIRE HOLT, HAUTE LIVING

“Figure 1’s Micellar Oil Cleanser is the final evolved brain. Imagine a micellar water in reverse, meaning it feels and works like an oil but rinses off like it’s water-based.” - INTO THE GLOSS

“My favorite product, however, is definitely the Micellar Oil Cleanser ($19). So many of the cleansing oils I’ve used in the past leave a residue on my skin, even after I’ve scrubbed them off. This one, however, disappears completely after I wash it off and doesn’t leave a hint of makeup behind.” - BYRDIE

“Fig.1 Micellar Oil Cleanser... is super silky and makes the face-washing experience so much more enjoyable.” - NEWBEAUTY

“If you’ve ever wanted to give double cleansing a try, this oil cleanser by new beauty brand Fig.1 is definitely worth a try.” - NYLON

  • Why It Works

    Fig.1's Micellar Oil Cleanser feels, works and nourishes like an oil but rinses off like it’s water based. Micelles have a unique positive and negative polarization, which allows them to surround and remove dirt from the skin without stripping away healthy oils.

  • Derm Tip

    Oil-based cleansers can actually help prevent acne bumps. Every acne bump starts as a clogged pore, and by breaking down stubborn makeup and mineral sunscreen, Fig.1’s Micellar Oil Cleanser prevents pore congestion. What’s more, it also helps the skin regulate oil production.

  • Who We Are

    Dermatologist-developed. Real clinical experience informs how we build products and utilize ingredients. Refillable & recyclable packaging protects products from air, light and dirty fingers, so you'll experience clinical results until the last pump.

It’s become a really nice first step in my skincare routine."

This cleanser does the

"This cleanser does the heavy-duty makeup removal work of an oil with the lightweight, clean finish of a water-based wash. It doesn't leave any greasy residue behind, and makes my skin feel balanced without being stripped of its moisture like with other types of face wash. This product has been especially great for my sensitive skin and has even helped me banish a bout of perioral dermatitis."

Carina B. (5/5)

I especially appreciate the refillable packaging, which makes it a more sustainable choice. It’s gentle, effective, and perfect for everyday use my skin feels clean, hydrated, and balanced after every use."

Nicole L. (5/5)

I really enjoyed using

"I really enjoyed using Fig. 1 Micellar Oil Cleanser. The texture is silky and lightweight, and it melts away makeup, sunscreen, and impurities very easily. Once you add water, it emulsifies nicely and rinses off clean without leaving a greasy residue. My skin feels soft, smooth, and comfortable after using it, never tight or dry. It’s a great first cleanse that effectively removes makeup while still being gentle enough for everyday use."

Yulia A. (5/5)

I love oil cleansers

"I love oil cleansers and this Fig. 1 Micellar Oil works great on my mature combination skin that tends to dry up more often now that I am getting older. It removes makeup with ease. I’ve been using it for the last 4 weeks morning and night. It does not have a fragrance however I’ve noticed that after my morning routine it leave a certain smell which is not bad but it could be bothersome, perhaps it’s the chemistry of my body. Overall the product works great and my skin feels clean and smooth."

Lilia C. (4/5)

Excellent Cleanser that does

"Excellent Cleanser that does the job right. I love the texture , consistency and the results that it gives to my skin. Leaves my skin feeling squeaky clean and I do not feel any dryness after each use. All an all a great product that suits my skin very well"

Syedasara K. (5/5)

I loved the consistency

"I loved the consistency of this oil and how it did not leave an oily residue after using it on my face. My eyes did not burn at all unlike other cleansing oils. It was able to remove majority of my makeup; however at times I did feel the need to double cleanse. Overall it's a pretty good oil cleanser and something I can see myself repurchasing. Also, I liked the minimal packaging and the pump. I feel like a good amount of product comes out without it squirting everywhere"

Uroosa A. (4/5)

I am not a

"I am not a fan of the micellar oil scent but I do enjoy how gentle it is on my skin. It smells and feels like vegetable oil but it dos an okay job at removing makeup. It doesn’t completely remove waterproof makeup or intense color pigments compared to others on the market but it didn’t strip my skin or compromise my barrier which I can appreciate as someone with sensitive skin."

Aleah A. (4/5)

I use this in

"I use this in my nightly routine. Gentle on the eye area and gets off tough waterproof makeup. Doesn't clog pores or leave my skin irritated. I always double cleanse though. So usually l use a cleanser after this. Face doesn't feel stripped or greasy. Packaging is good! Nothing faulty."

Marissa I. (5/5)

I’ve been really enjoying

"I’ve been really enjoying this micellar oil cleanser as the first step in my routine. The lightweight oil texture melts away makeup, sunscreen, and daily impurities effortlessly without leaving a heavy or greasy residue.
