New product by NUDE. This is a cleansing oil that comes in a gel.

– Great slip – This gel melts into an oil when rubbed into skin. The oil doesn’t dry up with friction. So you can continue massaging into skin for a few minutes with skin still feeling lubricated. This is important for a cleansing oil. When you have on stubborn sunscreen or makeup, you need some time to work the product in to remove all the grime.

– Rinses off well – No residue after rinsing. Skin feels smoother and very clean. If you like the feeling that a light oil leaves behind, you won’t get that with this one. But it does not dry out skin.

– Gel format – I love that this comes in a gel. It’s less messy than an oil, so great for travel. I would actually take this with me on a trip instead of Precleanse (which I pour into a small bottle).

– Price – At $38, this is reasonable compared to professional or upscale, niche brands (like the ones you find at SpaceNK). But for its performance, I think it’s a great buy. For example, it’s similar to Sarah Chapman, but is half the price.
