DHC Pore Cleansing Oil — Blackhead-dissolving Makeup Remover, 5 fl. oz, Citrus Exfoliant & Non-Greasy Rinse

DHC Pore Cleansing Oil is a citrus-infused oil cleanser that dissolves makeup and sebum to clarify pores while leaving skin feeling clean, balanced, and brighter.

This lightweight oil-based cleanser is formulated for oily and blemish-prone complexions. Instead of stripping skin with harsh surfactants, it uses oil-to-oil interaction to lift away waterproof makeup, excess sebum, and surface impurities. A trio of lemon, orange and grapefruit peel extracts supplies very mild natural exfoliation and a refreshed tone without abrasive particles, helping skin look more refined after each use.

How does this oil remove waterproof makeup and mascara?

The cleanser relies on oils to attract and dissolve oil-based cosmetics and waterproof pigments, allowing them to rinse away cleanly. Its slip breaks down long-wear formulas without tugging the delicate eye area.

• Dissolves waterproof mascara and eyeliner gently
• Emulsifies on contact with water for easy rinsing
• No greasy residue when rinsed or wiped away

Will it help reduce the appearance of enlarged pores?

By removing excess sebum and surface buildup that stretch pore openings, the formula helps pores appear less noticeable. The citrus extracts also provide gentle surface renewal and a subtly tightened look with regular use.

• Binds with sebum to clear pore-clogging oil
• Natural peel extracts support mild exfoliation and toning
• Leaves skin balanced rather than stripped

Is this suitable for oily or acne-prone skin types?

Yes — it’s designed for oily and blemish-prone skin. Because it cleanses by dissolving oils and impurities rather than over-drying, it can reduce rebound oiliness that sometimes follows aggressive detergents.

• Non-comedogenic approach: removes excess oil from pores
• Softer finish than many foaming cleansers
• Can be incorporated as first step in double-cleansing routines

How should I use this oil in my skincare routine?

Apply a few pumps to dry skin and massage to break down makeup and sebum, then add water to emulsify and rinse thoroughly. Use as the first cleanser in the evening or as a makeup-removing step before a gentle second cleanse.

• Use on dry skin to ensure effective makeup dissolution
• Emulsify with warm water, then rinse or remove with a damp cloth
• Follow with your usual serum or moisturizer
