NIOD (which stands for Non Invasive Options in Dermal Science) utilises ultra-sophisticated, leading-edge ingredients to bring your skin the best the industry has to offer. An advanced kind of purifying cleanser, this skin cleaning system thoroughly cleanses skin with isolated sugar and avocado esters rather than plant oils, detergents or water. Breaking down dirt, make up and other impurities by using ingredients with similar structures to them, this innovative system leaves faces flawlessly clean without drying them out.
With an array of advanced skin-purifying esters (organic compounds), NIOD’s Low Viscosity Cleaning Ester cleverly breaks down damaging impurities to thoroughly cleanse skin while leaving it comfortably soft. It features fatty alcohol ethylhexanoic acid ester (not to be mistaken for an alcohol or acid ingredient) which is a skin-friendly ester that has a nearly identical structure to many damaging emollients used in make up and skin care. Solely by being so similar to them, this ester can break down these unwanted impurities, dissolving even the most complex silicones, oils and pigments. As well as this, isoamyl alcohol lauric acid ester removes UV filters to purify the skin and the pores, while catalyzed avocado butyl alcohol ester balances sebum activity to normalise both dry and oily skin types. Don’t be put off by the super-smart scientific names – your complexion will be left clearer than ever before, while remaining hydrated and balanced.
Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Isoamyl Laurate, Isoamyl Cocoate, Butyl Avocadate, Plukenetia Volubilis Seed Oil, Tocopherol, Propyl Gallate, Ethoxydiglycol, Dimethyl Isosorbide, Farnesol, Linalool

Best cleanser for 10 years soon
This is my holy grail product since it was released, i use it with danp microfiber towel and thos makes it one and done excellent cleanser, that never dries, irritates, keeps skin moist, but gets rid of even the thickest and most waterproof makeup. The size is si generous, its worth the price for me. I dont think I’ll ever change. No double cleanse needed either.

all time fave cleanser
This is brilliant, cleanses perfectly when coupled with damp washcloth, and a bottle lasts for ages. I like also that its scent free. Also, due to his cleanser, my skin is much better conditions, more balanced, doesnt dry out and doesnt get irritated with my nightly tret as much.

My fave, but not for everyone
This is not a usual cleansing balm or oil, it has a very particular texture and it doesn’t emulsify at all. I use it as a part of my morning routine. I first use this ester to dissolve skincare (especially Tretinoin that I use in my PM routine, that tend to leave a film on my skin), and I follow with a gel cleanser. It also works great, if you practice self massage - it gives a great “glide”. This method helps to gently exfoliate my skin, remove sebaceous filaments (when massaged for at least 3-5 minutes) and remove dead skin cells left after tretinoin. I don’t use it to remove my makeup, cause I prefer products that don’t need a wash cloth and that emulsify well.

strong makeuo remover
It is a very powerful make-up remover and yet very respectful with the skin, the only thing that later costs a lot to finish removing it from the skin. It lasts a long time so the price seems adequate

Love it! You just need to know how to use it
My first bottle is almost finished and I'm waiting for the restock.The way I use it makes all the difference. After wiping my makeup off with micellar water (Bioderma), I pour the Ester in my palms and apply it all over my face and rub it in circular motion. If you do that long enough you will see some sebaceous filaments come out and you'll feel tiny grits pile up. After you're done, go over it with a cotton pad and you'll be shocked by the amount of dirt/makeup residue. If the oiliness bothers you, wash your face with a gentle cleanser after it. Nothing cleaned my face as much as this method!Â

Not worth the price tag
This is just the same as a bog standard micellar water. Buy Garnier instead or Bioderma Crealine and don't waste your money.

Love it!
It’s a large bottle so definitely lasts a long time, cleans well but does have an oily feeling afterwards (which I really enjoy as I have dry acne prone skin). I’m also really sensitive to products but this one has one been a really good experience. Recommend it!

Wonderful!
Does what it says, does not irritate my problematic sensitive skin, leaves your skin feeling silky soft, and it comes in a really big bottle! Definitely, recommend most NIOD products but especially this one.

It works, but there's caveats...
This did a great job, and I love NIOD/The Ordinary products; HOWEVER - that said, where this falls short for me (and might for you as well) is (1)over time, I found the product inevitably gets on the bottle itself, giving it an oily feel and the label will eventually wear away - you almost have to keep the bottle washed, and (2) while the scent for me wasn't totally off-putting, I don't like scent, even "natural x" in my skincare (at all), and if you do expect it to smell nice, this won't. It's not that it's super strong or stinky but rather vaguely unpleasant in an "industrial" kind of way. Does it work? Yes, absolutely ticks the "gets the stuff off your face" box...however, if the possibility of scent or label slipping off might bother you, then this may not be your holy grail cleanser. I say this as a super NIOD-Ordinary-Hylamide loyalist: I wouldn't necessarily repurchase this one over my preferred Clinique balm cleanser because the balm format travels well and has literally no fragrance. Hope this helps someone. PS to Cult Beauty - but by all means, PLEASE start stocking their Superoxide Dismutase Saccharide Mist, though! It's a great mist/toner, very soothing. I even use it on my hair sometimes.
