Review of Emma Lewisham’s Illuminating Oil Face Cleanser
I must admit, I’m a creature of habit when it comes to cleansing. It’s usually a lazy micellar cleanse in front of the TV or a thorough massage with a balmy cleanser. Oils aren’t typically my go-to cleansers. However, after using the Emma Lewisham Illuminating Oil Face Cleanser, I can confidently say that I’ve never experienced softer skin post-oil cleanse. It’s truly delightful. The scent is fresh and floral, giving a revitalizing feeling. I can tell that careful attention has been given to this aspect. These moments of self-care should be as enjoyable as possible because while the products serve a functional purpose, the ritual itself should be indulgent. Unfortunately, I feel that some brands have forgotten this.
[Image: Emma Lewisham]The ingredient list of this cleanser is impressive, with 23 nutrient-rich phyto-actives that both cleanse and nourish the skin. It’s impossible for your skin to feel tight or dry after using this cleanser. I’m hesitant to go overboard with claims of skin conditioning or miraculous results because cleansers are only on the skin for a short while. However, there is definitely a rewarding after-effect of softness. If you’re sensitive to any specific oils, I recommend checking the (lengthy) list of ingredients. Lavender, camellia, jasmine, and rose are just a few examples. As for the actual cleansing performance, it’s perfect. No complaints at all. In fact, the luxurious experience of massaging this cleanser onto your skin may even incentivize you to keep it on for a bit longer.
The price of £48 may seem steep, but you can opt for a refill at £41. If you happen to have an empty bottle lying around, you could save a few pounds there. You can find the product HERE.

I’d had emails about it but just wasn’t drawn to it for some reason, so what better use of the products that were sent to accompany the book than to give them a try?
I realise I’m a bit set in my ways when it comes to cleansing – it’s either a lazy micellar cleanse in front of the telly or a full on balmy massage and rinse. Oils don’t really feature in my line up of preferred cleansers. However, I don’t think I’ve had softer skin post oil cleanse than I have with Emma Lewisham Illuminating Oil Face Cleanser. It’s utterly lovely. The scent is zesty-floral and reviving – a happy sort of aroma – and I feel that careful attention has been paid to that. These little self care moments should be as pleasant as possible because while the products may be functional the ritual itself should be indulgent. I think some brands have forgotten that.
The ingredient list is mighty – 23 nutrient-rich phyto-actives that both cleanse and nourish. It’s impossible for skin to feel taut or dry after using this. I’m hesitant to rave too much in terms of skin conditioning or ‘results’ for skin because cleansers are on the complexion for mere moments, but there is an after-effect of softness that is very rewarding. If you’re sensitive to any oils, do check the (long) list – lavender, camellia, jasmine, rose to name but a few. In terms of cleansing – I nearly forgot! – perfect. No complaints at all and there is the extra incentive to keep it on your skin for a bit longer by massaging because it’s such a lovely experience. Pricy at £48 HERE but the refill is £41 HERE so if you have a spare bottle lying around you could save a few pounds there.
