Why we stand behind it
This microbiome-friendly and essential oil-free cleanser effectively removes debris, sunscreen and makeup without stripping the skin of its protective oils.
Reconceptualizing the meaning of deep cleansing, it uses omega-6 rich oils to penetrate the origin of congestion deep within the follicle rather than merely scrubbing the surface of the skin and over drying it.
Key ingredients
Omega-6 oils: Safflower and sunflower oil decongest pores where congestion starts in the follicle. Breaks up deposits by thinning sebum, allowing oils to flow to the surface where they lubricate skin.
Decyl glucoside: A mild non-sudsing cleaning agent deep cleans without stripping skin of oils.
Pre and probiotic complex: Blend of commensal microbes found on the skin and prebiotics which nourish them. Supports and maintains the health of the skin microbiome.
Super oxide dismutase: Powerful antioxidant that protects against damage to skin cells’ lipid barrier.

"My skin is extremely dry. I have tried many other oil based cleansers and this one is by far the best at removing product/sunscreen/makeup while not drying out my skin. In fact my skin feels hydrated after cleaning."
— Marisa M. (5/5)
"I love the Marie Veronique skin care line. I have heat-dysregulated, oil-sensitive rosacea, so I tried this Oil Cleanser a few times, but it made my rosacea flare because I can't tolerate oils. But I still recommend it to anyone who doesn't have my reactive skin! I really appreciate clean, clinical products that aren't full of essential oils that are actually skin irritants, which is unfortunately common in clean beauty."
— Jessica T. (5/5)
"Great cleanser! As gentle as it is, it's really effective and has helped my sensitive, highly reactive skin. I will say at first I wasn't convinced that my face felt fully cleansed due to how soft it felt afterwards vs. the squeaky clean feeling I had when using more aggressive cleansers. However the results showed differently as I had much less irritation and redness since I wasn't stripping my skin of its natural oils. Such a clean, effective product that does the job beautifully!"
— Allison S. (5/5)
"It's Marie Veronique so I came with high expectations. This is worth every penny! My complexion looks fresh every morning with this, and I can tell a difference when I use something else. Took a bit to use correctly, I wasn't using enough water after I rubbed it on but it worked well even without the better technique. I won't be without it!"
— Hollie S. (5/5)
"Truly the best cleanser recommending it to everyone I know, everyone who I have made try it loves it and bought one."
— Brennan O. (5/5)
"Are there less expensive cleansing oils out there? Yes. Will they disappoint you and break you out and irritate your skin and make you regret everything? Also yes."
— Margaret S. (5/5)
"Love this- Best cleansing oil in the market"
— Noelani G. (5/5)
"Amazing product!"
— nina w. (5/5)
"I love Credo and I really wanted to love this, especially since it’s my first Marie Veronique product after hearing so many great things. Unfortunately, it caused me to break out, and I also found it very difficult to wash off. Even after thoroughly rinsing with water, it still felt like there was residue left on my skin :(."
— Alexia (2/5)
"I was expecting this to emulsify - it is a great viscous and hydrating oil cleanser but you cannot wash it off like an emulsifying oil cleanser (like Maya chia) - you really need to use a wet wash cloth to remove the oil. It’s nice and well formulated, no false advertising just a wrong assumption on my part."
— Jaycee H. (5/5)

This Product Is: an oil cleanser formulated without essential oils
Good for: all skin types, including sensitive or irritated skin
Why We Love It: Marie Veronique Pure + E.O. Free Oil Cleanser is microbiome-friendly and essential oil-free. This non-toxic cleanser effectively removes debris, sunscreen, and makeup without stripping the skin of its protective oils.
This product gives new meaning to “deep clean.” Rather than scrubbing at the surface (which can dry the skin), it uses Omega-6-rich oils to penetrate to the origin of congestion, deep within the follicle. Utilizing the principle of “like dissolves like,” oil-based cleansers are the gentlest and most effective way to clean skin deeply and thoroughly. Low-suds surfactants effectively remove surface grime and makeup without robbing the skin of its surface protective oils.
Customer trials show that this product can help soothe irritated skin, giving all skin types the appearance of smoother, softer skin.
