Nourishing Oil Cleanser for Dry, Sensitive & Mature Skin

Healthy skin starts with a healthy skin barrier.

Circadia Vitamin Veil Cleansing Oil is a luxurious, antioxidant-rich oil cleanser that gently melts away makeup, sunscreen, excess oil, and daily impurities without stripping your skin’s natural moisture. Unlike traditional foaming cleansers, this nourishing formula leaves behind a lightweight veil of botanical oils and antioxidants to help support a soft, healthy-looking complexion.  

As a Licensed Esthetician and Certified Acne Expert, I recommend this cleanser for clients with dry, mature, sensitive, rosacea-prone, or post-treatment skin who need gentle cleansing without compromising their skin barrier. It’s also one of my favorite first cleansers for removing makeup before following with a second cleanser if needed.

Key Ingredients

Soybean Oil – Gently dissolves makeup, sunscreen, and impurities while helping maintain skin hydration.  

Cranberry Seed Oil – Rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids that nourish and protect the skin.  

Sea Buckthorn Oil – Helps restore and condition the skin while providing antioxidant support.  

Meadowfoam Seed Oil – Helps soften the skin and lock in moisture for a smooth, healthy complexion.

How to Use

Massage 1–2 pumps onto dry skin using gentle circular motions to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and excess oil. Add a small amount of water to emulsify, then rinse thoroughly or remove with a warm, damp washcloth.

For heavier makeup or SPF, follow with your favorite Circadia or Face Reality cleanser as a second cleanse.

Why I Recommend It

Many people think oil cleansers make the skin oily—but the opposite is often true. Oil naturally attracts oil, making it one of the gentlest ways to remove makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum without disrupting your skin barrier.

I love recommending Vitamin Veil to clients with dry, mature, or post-treatment skin because it cleanses beautifully while leaving the skin soft, comfortable, and nourished.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this an oil cleanser?

Yes. Vitamin Veil is a non-foaming cleansing oil designed to gently dissolve makeup, sunscreen, dirt, and excess oil while helping maintain the skin barrier.  

Does it remove waterproof makeup?

Yes. It’s excellent for breaking down long-wear makeup and sunscreen before your second cleanse.

Is this cleanser good for acne?

If you have active acne, I generally recommend using Vitamin Veil as a first cleanse to remove makeup and sunscreen, followed by an acne-safe cleanser as your second cleanse rather than using it alone. This aligns with Circadia’s guidance that it is not intended as a stand-alone cleanser for acneic skin.  

Can I use it every day?

Absolutely. It’s gentle enough for daily morning or evening use and is especially beneficial for dry or mature skin.

💕 Cindy’s Esthetician Tip

“One of the biggest skincare mistakes I see is over-cleansing. If your skin feels tight after washing, your cleanser may be too harsh. I love Vitamin Veil because it removes makeup and sunscreen while helping protect your skin barrier. For acne-prone clients who wear makeup or SPF daily, I often recommend it as the first step in a double-cleansing routine.”
