BABOR HY-OL Cleanser Facial Oil, 6.7 oz – Two‑Phase Gentle Makeup Remover with Vitamin E & Bisabolol

BABOR HY-OL Cleanser is a two-phase facial oil cleanser that dissolves makeup and grime while supporting a healthy skin barrier.

Designed as a modern take on classic oil cleansing, this award-recognized two-phase formula blends hydrophilic plant oils with targeted actives to lift oil- and water-based impurities without over-stripping fragile skin. The lightweight oil converts to a milky emulsion when moistened, giving a thorough cleanse that feels gentle and leaves skin prepped for serums or moisturizers.

How does the two-phase formula work to remove makeup?

The cleanser pairs hydrophilic natural oils with Quillaja extract to attract and dissolve both oil-based cosmetics and water-soluble residue. When you add water, the oil turns into a milky emulsion that carries away dissolved impurities for an effective rinse-off.

• Hydrophilic soy, sesame, and peanut oils break down oil-based makeup and sunscreen.
• Quillaja extract acts like a magnet for dirt and tiny particles.
• Transforms into an emulsion with water to remove water-soluble grime.

Will it be gentle on sensitive or barrier-compromised skin?

Formulated with Vitamin E and bisabolol, the cleanser aims to maintain the skin’s natural barrier while cleansing. Its gentle oil base reduces the need for harsh surfactants, helping minimize irritation commonly caused by aggressive cleansers.

• Vitamin E provides antioxidant support without stripping oils.
• Bisabolol soothes and helps reduce the chance of redness.
• Oil-based texture cleans without disrupting microbiome balance.

How do you use BABOR HY-OL Cleanser for best results?

Apply to dry skin and massage gently to dissolve makeup and sebum. For added nourishment, layer the Phyto HY-ÖL Booster before emulsifying; then wet fingertips with cool water, continue massaging until the oil turns milky, and rinse thoroughly.

• Massage onto dry face to break down makeup and pollutants.
• Optional: apply Phyto HY-ÖL Booster over the cleanser for extra protection.
• Moisten, emulsify to a milk, then rinse completely with water.

What skincare benefits can I expect after cleansing?

Beyond removing makeup and residue, the formula supports a balanced skin surface and helps preserve natural moisture. Regular use prepares skin to absorb follow-up treatments more effectively while minimizing the feeling of tightness after cleansing.

• Leaves skin feeling cleansed but not stripped.
• Supports a well-balanced microbiome and skin barrier integrity.
• Prepares skin for serums, boosters, and moisturizers.

Who is this for: BABOR HY-OL Cleanser is suited for anyone seeking a thorough yet gentle cleansing step—especially people with sensitive, dry, or barrier-prone skin who prefer oil-based removal of makeup, sunscreen, and urban pollutants. It also works well for those who follow a multi-step skincare routine and want a non-drying first cleanse that pairs with boosters or treatments.
