Dr Dennis Gross Vitamin C Lactic Creamy Cleansing Oil 6 fl oz — oil-to-milk cleanser for makeup & SPF removal, hydrating, brighten

Dr Dennis Gross Vitamin C Lactic Creamy Cleansing Oil is a creamy oil-to-milk cleanser that dissolves makeup and SPF, emulsifies with water, and rinses away for clean, hydrated skin without a second cleanse.

Designed as a first-step cleanser for daily use, this 6 fl oz formula blends two forms of Vitamin C with lactic acid and soothing botanicals to lift impurities while supporting skin’s natural moisture. It starts as a rich, nourishing oil and transforms into a soft milky lather when you add water, removing sunscreen, foundation, and surface debris without stripping. The texture and ingredient blend target dryness and dullness while leaving skin feeling balanced and comfortable.

How does this cleanser remove makeup and SPF effectively?

The formula uses oil-soluble cleansing agents to bind and lift oils and pigments, then emulsifies into a milky rinse when water is added to wash them away. This two-stage action makes it efficient at breaking down long-wear cosmetics and sunscreen without aggressive rubbing.

• Oil-based texture dissolves waterproof and oil-based products
• Emulsifies into milk for easy rinsing without residue
• Suitable as a single-step cleanse for most makeup routines

What key ingredients are included and what do they do for skin?

The cleanser combines two types of Vitamin C and lactic acid for radiance-supporting chemistry, while botanical oils and colloidal oatmeal soothe and hydrate. Green tea and apricot oil add antioxidant comfort and skin-conditioning benefits without a heavy finish.

• Two forms of Vitamin C for brightening-supportive activity
• Lactic acid helps gently exfoliate and smooth texture
• Colloidal oatmeal, sunflower and apricot oils soothe and replenish moisture

How do you use this product for best results?

Use on dry skin as the first cleanser: massage into dry face and eye area to dissolve makeup and SPF, then add water to emulsify into a creamy milk and rinse thoroughly. Finish by gently patting skin dry or using a soft cloth for extra removal.

• Apply to dry face with dry fingertips to break down product
• Add water to emulsify, then rinse and/or wipe with a soft cloth
• No mandatory second cleanse unless you prefer a foaming follow-up

Will this cleanser leave skin feeling stripped or greasy?

Its creamy oil-to-milk texture is formulated to remove impurities while preserving hydration, leaving skin feeling supple rather than tight. The blend of nourishing oils and humectant ingredients aims to balance cleansing power with comfort.

• Transforms to a milky rinse to avoid oily residue
• Soothing botanicals help prevent post-cleanse tightness
• Designed for a soft, radiant finish suitable for dry or normal skin

Who this is for: If you regularly wear makeup or sunscreen and want a single, effective first-step cleanser that removes product without drying, this cream-to-milk oil cleanser fits that need. It’s especially useful for people with dry or dull-prone skin seeking a hydrating, gentle cleanse that supports texture and radiance. Those with very oily skin or specific sensitivities should patch-test ingredients like lactic acid and botanical extracts before full use. For daily makeup wearers, travelers, or anyone who prefers a nourishing cleansing experience that simplifies the routine, this 6 fl oz bottle offers a practical, skin-friendly solution.
