The difference starts to show when you start using quality cleansers such as O Cosmedics Corrective Cleanser and Peel, Medik8's Calmwise Soothing Cleanser , and dermalogica's Ultra Calming Cleanser. These cleansers are high quality cleansers that will allow you to cleanse your face without stripping out all your skins natural oils and resulting in overly dry skin. 

When To Use Medik8 Cleansing Oil?

So when should you use Medik8 Cleansing Oil? Although the above cleansers are a lot milder on your skin than standard soap or supermarket cleanser, there is still a range of skin types that might find they are left feeling dry or even itchy after cleansing. This can be from having barrier impaired skin, specifically dry skin or even if you are someone who has a lifestyle that requires you cleanse your skin multiple times a day such as working FIFO or in the gym industry where you are sweating a lot throughout the day. An oil cleanser such as the Medik8 Cleansing Oil would be of benefit to you.

What Is Different About Cleansing Oil?

Cleansing oil does a similar job to standard cleansers but they don't strip all the oils from your skin. The main ingredient in standard cleansers is surfactants because water doesn't mix with oil readily and a large percentage of a standard cleanser is water so the surfactant is needed. Oil cleansers don't need any surfactants in them because oil readily mixes with oil. This removes the main ingredient that can cause dry, itchy skin. While oil cleansers still cleanse your face and leaves your face feeling fresh, it leaves behind a thin layer of oil that makes your skin feel hydrated instead of dry and irritated. This oil is also designed to stop further water lose from your skin commonly called Trans Epidermal Water Lose (TEWL).
