Leaves my skin deeply cleansed and moisturised at the same time. Leaves a glow. No break outs on my naturally oily skin.

The best cleansing oil! I have tried other cheaper ones as this is quite expensive for what it is but after my experiments I am back to say this is worth it. I use it to double cleanse in the evenings and single cleanse some mornings too or evenings even my skin is not so "dirty". What I love about it is it actually emulsifies and completely rinses off with water, it doesn't leave a residue. Skin feels clean, yet is still moisturised and looks glowing. And this is on quite oily, blemish-prone skin. Must have for me!

This cleansing oil is a game/life changer. My skin hasn't been this clear in years. I've tried so many things throughout the years, nothing has helped. My skin now ,since using Epara products is clear and healthy. I get countless compliments on my complexion. I'm an all out fan of these products and will continue to purchase for as long as they are available. I'm 42, and many people think I'm in my 20's thanks to healthy skin.

I’ve only had it for about a week but loving it so far. My skin feels clean and soft afterwards.

A holy grail to be added to all skincare routines. Makeup, face protective masks, the day’s activities, and more do not stand a chance against this cleansing oil, for real!

I LOVE IT SO MUCH. On some days I pair it with a gentle sweet almond cleanser for double cleansing.

Magic missing piece to my skincare routine!
Since using this my skin is so much happier, the small spots that I always used to have a least 2 or 3 of have bid farewell.
I was sceptical of double cleansing as I never wear make-up and thought it was a waste of time and money but I had reached a plateau in my skincare and this jumpstarted a new era of smoother, clearer skin. I use it before a water based cleanser every evening and it's divine. I love the feeling, viscous at first and as it warms up to my skin it because silky liquid that glides across my face as I massage the dirt away. It's my favourite part of my routine now and a certified staple!

Does it remove make-up and sunscreen?

Yes. Massage it onto dry skin, over make-up and sunscreen, then add water and rinse.

Will it leave my skin oily?

No. With water it turns into a light milk that rinses away completely, without a residue or stripping the skin.

Do I need a second cleanse?

Not always. Use it on its own, or follow with a second cleanse such as the Cleansing Lotion.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Our formulas contain essential oils. Reactions are rare, but we recommend a patch test first, especially during pregnancy, hormonal changes or while taking medication.

Will it work with the products I already use?

Yes. Epara formulas are made to slip into the routine you already have. If you use prescribed actives or have treatments in clinic, follow your practitioner's advice.
