A rich cleansing cream that uses a blend of mineral oil, petrolatum, and botanical oils like meadowfoam and avocado to dissolve makeup and impurities. It features kaolin to help refine the skin's surface while maintaining a supple, cushioned feel. This is a heavy-hitter for those who find gel cleansers too stripping or want a more ritualistic evening step. It feels incredibly substantial—more like a massage cream than a quick wash—and is best removed with a warm cloth to ensure the rich oils and clay rinse away perfectly.
