EltaMD Oil-in-Gel Cleanser combines the effectiveness of a traditional cleanser with the benefits of an oil cleanser. This transformative formula preserves the skin barrier while gently cleansing without stripping skin's moisture or clogging pores. Enriched with antioxidants to help defend against free radical damage. The rich gel texture melts into a silky oil that gently and effortlessly lifts away environmental pollutants, water-resistant sunscreen, long-wear makeup, sweat, and excess sebum - all in one step. Upon contact with water, the oil turns into a milky emulsion to wash away the impurities.
