About Revele Emulsifying Oil Cleanser
Revele is the perfect oil cleanser for acne-prone skins. Each component was carefully chosen for its benefits in healing acne prone skin.
The texture is a unique oil-gel that applies easily with no mess and transforms into an oil with beautiful slip on the skin.
All the oils used are rich in linoleic acid, which benefits all complexions but especially acneic complexions, since studies have shown that the sebum of acne-prone skin has a tendency to be deficient in linoleic acid, making it more sticky and comedogenic.
Safflower oil was carefully chosen due to the size of its molecular chain, which is the perfect size for a deep pore cleanse.
Pumpkin Seed oil is high in zinc and has been shown to help balance hormonal activity on the skin.
Perilla Seed oil is beautifully anti-inflammatory with a unique fatty acid profile that is high in both Omega 3 and linoleic acid.
Lastly, we include just three beneficial essential oils at minimal concentrations that are safe for both sensitive and pregnant skins. Rosemary is a circulatory stimulant and aids in moving blood and lymph fluid to detoxify. Palmarosa is one of the preferred oils for improving skin balance and moisture, and Niaouli is a gentler cousin of Tea Tree, and is renowned for helping with skin conditions like acne and eczema.
This cleanser is designed to self-emulsify and rinses clean with water, eliminating the need for a cloth.

I truly love this cleanser. The scent and texture is excellent (not overpowering or thick) and it’s a lovely reminder to give myself a facial massage. I prefer to use it as a first cleanse in the evening to fully remove my make-up, following with something very light or the Rose micellar water. Another option: massage with Revele, follow with a little physical exfoliant (my favorite is oat flour), then hop in the shower for a deep steam clean. I experience hormonal break-outs and some light dermatitis (especially around my eyes), but this product has been safe for me to use. I also have dermatillomania, and facial massage and products with a pleasing texture help me limit the impulse to pick. Revele is a crucial part of my skin healing ritual. Thank you moss!

If I was stranded on an island and could only take one single skincare product, I would take this oil cleanser. It feels absolutely fantastic on my skin and helps with blemishes while moisturizing at the same time. I tell people all the time to purchase this if nothing else when they ask what they can do to improve their skin. I haven’t washed my face with soap since I started using this over a year ago. Awesome oil cleanser!

Revele is my regular cleanser and has been so for a couple of years. I love the way it thoroughly cleans my skin while leaving it silky soft and moist. Having acne prone skin it is very difficult to find an effective cleanser that doesn’t dry my skin out. I was taught the old school myth that using any product that contains oil is a definite no-no for acne prone school. In fact my dermatologist still propagates that misinformation! I was really afraid to try this and the other great Moss products that contain oil, but boy am I glad I did! My skin is so much clearer and moisturized than it used to be.

This is a top notch oil cleaners. It is very unique in that when it comes into contact with water it gains a gentle lather. I have extremely sensitive skin and struggle to find cleansers that clean without stripping my skin. This product meets both those requirements. It is a beautiful cleanser and my go to cleanser product.

I have older, very sensitive skin and I find that this oil cleanser cleans better after I remove all my makeup with a mild organic olive soap then cleanse again with this. I use Tilbury’s light wonder. I can not use around my eyes or eyelids because it causes irritation. It leaves my skin smooth and soft. I have been using for 7 months and it has gotten rid of the dry patches. Would have given it a 5 stars if I could use it on my whole face.

This is my favorite oil cleanser of all time (and I’ve tried SO many oil and balm cleansers)! Revele glides on easily on dry skin without tugging and emulsifies beautifully when water is added so it rinses clean without leaving an oily residue— a washcloth is not even required. The light scent is mild and pleasant (hint of fresh citrus). It works great for my normal but blemish prone skin and since I ran out I’ve been using all my other oil cleansers and cleansing balms but just had to reorder because nothing compares!

I’ve dealt with moderate, sometimes cystic, hormonal acne for about 20 years (I’m 34). This cleanser has been a life-saver. I’ve gone through 3-4+ bottles of Revele now, and start to panic when my bottle is running low, both because it’s so incredibly effective and has also become a much-anticipated aromatherapeutic ritual morning and evening. I originally found I needed to use Zen Physic daily in addition to keep all acne at bay, but after using both products for about a year, I now need Zen fairly infrequently.
I began using Revele before the formula change and was totally satisfied but the oil-gel formulation is definitely even better. Simple and mess-free to use, and my skin feels so clear, hydrated and supple afterward.
In short, I’ve tried many green/holistic skin care brands – starting in my teen years with the brands available locally in health food stores and in recent years the leading eco-luxe brands online. Moss is hands-down a favorite brand and Revele is one of my top 5 products I never want to be without.

Absolutely love this cleanser. I use this every night to get all of my makeup off and it works wonders. I have sensitive/acne prone skin and it help so much to get all of the junk off before bed. I will continue to use this product nightly!

I love this cleanser! Not only does it remove all makeup/dirt from your day, it also leaves the skin feeling smooth and supple. I can actually see a difference when I stop using this product. My acne gets angry. I will occasionally use this on my chest and back when my flare ups there get bad. Can’t function without this!

This oil cleanser is the best I’ve ever used. It completely removes makeup and leaves my skin feeling soft and not stripped after I use it. I also appreciate that it’s good for oily/acne prone skin.

This is the best oil cleanser I have ever tried! Removes makeup effortlessly and the smell is divine. I love the gel oil consistency that makes it a lot less messier to use than a traditional oil cleanser and rinses completely clean. I’ve seen a huge improvement in my skin and cannot be without this!

Removes makeup flawlessly without irritating the eyes at all. Comes off clean and leaves your skin feeling fresh. Between this and all the L4B products I’ve tried, I’m seeing a lot of positive change in my skin.

MY FAVORITE OIL CLEANSER EVER. I’ve tried so many and this is a lazy girls best friend. I hate scrubbing my face to get makeup off, I don’t like the waste of cotton pads/balls, and I hate when there is a thick residue leftover for some oil cleansers. This one rinses clean and doesn’t sting my eyes. I do about 3-4 pumps and massage all over my face and on my eyelashes. A little bit of water to emulsify and more massaging, warm water to rinse clean. If I feel like I need a second cleanse or if I’m not wearing much makeup I will use reusable cotton pads with the AMBAR Micellar water which works like a charm and doesn’t sting either. Both are awesome cleansing options for makeup removal. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. 🙂

I haven’t actually purchased this product but I got 2 samples in my orders from the L4B. They actually lasted me a little over a week, only using nightly. It provides a surprisingly thorough cleanse, without leaving your skin feeling tight or dry. I have very dry and acne prone skin and it did not disrupt my skin at all. I think I’ll have to give in and buy the full thing. 😉

Having had severe acne for more years than I could remember, I had never found an acne cleanser that didn’t leave my skin dry and stripped. Until now! This cleanser is magical. My face is left feeling clean and moisturized. My skin feels super super soft. Plus, the scent is so yummy. Love this stuff.

I’m on my second bottle of Revele, which is the new formula. Admittedly, I was hesitant on why the product would be reformulated. I loved it how it originally made. I ordered the new bottle. Unbelievably, it’s even better. I love the non drip formula. Which I didn’t even think was necessary. The scent is a bit different, but I still enjoy it as well. I love to oil cleanse and this is so easy to use and does it’s job. Formerly a sufferer if severe acne, this product must have contributed to my healing. Wonderful product. I will continue to purchase.

This review is for the old formulation, but I fully expect to feel the same about the latest tweaked version.
I’ve been using Revele for about a year and a half, and I just love it. I have combination skin, an oily T-zone with cheeks that have become increasingly drier as I’ve aged and entered motherhood. I’d tried oil cleansing in the past but it never worked for me, my skin hated it, and I’d return to a gel cleanser that left my skin more refreshed but also drier and more irritated. With Revele, my skin is no longer irritated, much less sensitive, remains more hydrated, and I’ve seen a reduction in acne too. I generally use it once a day, in the evening, about 3-4 pumps which I massage around for a bit, then gently use a damp konjac sponge to emulsify and wipe it away, finishing with a final rinse with my hands. Sometimes I use it without the sponge, depending on what my skin needs. It’s the fabled “clean but not stripped” experience I’d been looking for but unable to find. I have a very limited budget but this stuff lasts forever, allows me to use less moisturizer, and provides such a benefit to my skin that I’ll continue to invest in it.

I liked the old formula but I LOVE, LOVE the new formula. The new gel oil base makes is easy to apply. This clean rinsing oil cleanser is a dream come true. I love the idea of cleansers but I hate that i either have to double cleanser ( Not opposed to it, I just don’t want to have to do it) or need a wash cloth to remove the cleanser every time. With Moss Revele I have none of these issues. Removes all my makeup and sunscreen easily. The rosemary is a pleasant, earthy scent.

Talk about a great cleanser. This is it! I finished my sample, and I need to purchase a full size. While using this I had no new acne formations. And it started to clean up the congestion I had around my nose. And, an added plus about Moss Skincare products are the smells. Every single product smells so beautiful. I looked forward to using this cleanser every night. I can`t wait to buy a full size of this!

I give this product 100% satisfaction! This really has changed my skin for the absolute best and I could not be more thankful. I have STRUGGLED with oily, acne prone skin all my life and now in my thirties I am also treating aging skin. The Revele Pore Purifying Emulsifying Oil Cleanser by Moss makes me excited to cleanse my face every night! It literally melts the makeup, dirt, oil. etc. (Also, removes sunscreen which is a big plus as a Floridian.) With a pleasant, faint scent that is angelic this oil now part of my holy grail collection in the bathroom. Can’t wait buy Illumina next!
Rachel Patterson
I LOVE this cleanser. It gently cleanses my skin and helps to remove makeup too. I look forward to using this every day. A little goes a long way and this cleanser is great for my very sensitive cystic acne-prone skin!

Revele is a lovely oil cleanser that turns into a milky emulsion when you add water. It’s very easy to use, no washcloth required. My skin loved it, but I supplemented with another cleanser for a second cleanse. Since I use sunscreen, I have to make sure my skin gets completely clean at night since I don’t cleanse in the morning. I would definitely use it more in the cooler months. It left my skin soft and smooth.

This is one of the best facial oil cleansers I’ve ever used. My skin responds so well to it. It has a wonderful earthy smell and also has a good slip, which is great when I do facial massage. The rosemary really helps to stimulate lymphatic drainage and increases circulation in my skin. As a result, I feel my acne marks are healing up much faster than ever before. It gives you a good clean without stripping your skin. More importantly, it doesn’t break me out. So many cleansers out there add coconut derivatives in their products, which are highly comedogenic. Clogs my pores lile crazy. Not this one. All ingredients are great for acneic skin. No breakouts what so ever. In fact, it is helping to keep my breakouts at bay. More than just a cleanser, you feel like you are truly nourishing your skin.

This oil cleanser is by far a favorite! The simple ingredient list is perfect to use daily for my sensitive, oily skin. I am a big believer that good skincare starts with a great cleanser, and guys, this is it! It has a light and silky feel upon application with good slip, which allows my fingers to effortlessly glide over/massage my face. The scent is a subtle earthy-rosemary, which I find quite calming. You can rinse it off the traditional oil-cleanse washcloth route for a deep clean, or with just water (which I LOVE because sometimes you need to deep clean quickly). Best of all though, it really cleans all the nasties out of your pores! My face doesn’t feel tight, dry, or oily after, just clean and smooth. Although I do miss the aromatherapy aspect of Vert Pur, the rinseablilty factor of Revele makes this cleanser very user friendly.
