product information

PRODUCT

A cleansing oil that effectively whisks away makeup—even longwearing and waterproof formulas—without disrupting skin’s barrier. It also removes impurities and pollutants. On contact with water, the silky texture transforms into a milky veil for a moment of pure delight. A delicate, voluptuous way to leave skin makeup-free.

Thoroughly removing makeup is a daily routine that involves several essential steps. CHANEL designed the Cleansing Collection as a range of sensorial products suitable for all skin types.

KEY INGREDIENTS

L’HUILE is formulated with a blend of 2 marine plant extracts: blue microalgae and salicornia extract.

These 2 ingredients combine with an exquisite, naturally derived oil to ensure complete makeup removal without leaving behind an oily residue.

Dermatologist-tested on all skin types. Non-comedogenic.

HOW TO APPLY

Every evening, dispense 1–2 pumps into the palm of your hand. Apply to dry skin and gently massage in a circular motion. Continue to lips, followed by lids and lashes. Work into a lather with warm water. Rinse thoroughly.

    This product by Chanel is probably my most valuable. I removed all make-up and any residue left from anything on my face. Basically, it keeps my skin at its cleanest and youngest possible.

It’s absolutely “Wonderful” to use as a cleansing oil. It’s silky in texture, smooth, doesn’t irritate my “Sensitive” Skin.. After use my skin is silky, clean, & soft. I follow up with Chanel’s Soray Serum(N*1 DE Chanel. Both are compatible with each other.<br />Chantilly/Arizona<br />10/25/2024 @ 1:18 PM
This is the best cleaning oil I’ve ever used. No breakouts, the long wear make up comes off easily and thoroughly. I don’t go without it. At home or travel, it’s with me. I love this product and I highly recommend it.

Returning customer. Great cleanser for dry skin. Cleans well and leaves no residue. Don't "strip" skin. Only cleanser I'll use for my 77 year old skin!

I always choose the L'HUILE anti-pollution cleansing oil because I have tried many others over the years. I am 72 and this is THE ONE that cleanses best and makes your skin feel silky smooth!

Is it for dry skin types?
Tonya D on Apr 5, 2026
BEST ANSWER: The formula combines 2 marine ingredients that cleanse skin and help preserve its essential functions. Marine salicornia extract helps maintain skin’s hydration, while blue micro-algae helps protect the complexion from pollution.

BEST ANSWER: We have not been provided with a timeframe of when L’HUILE Anti-Pollution Cleansing Oil is expected to be replenished. To stay informed, we invite you to sign up for the CHANEL newsletter for all product related updates.
Does this foam/suds up good? I’m having mixed thoughts after reading the reviews.
Jennifer on Dec 24, 2025
BEST ANSWER: The L’HUILE is a cleanser with a luxurious, silky texture that transforms into a soft, delicate lather upon contact with water. It effortlessly dissolves all traces of makeup—including long-wearing and waterproof formulas—as well as sunscreen and impurities, leaving the complexion refreshed and perfectly prepared for the next steps in your skincare ritual. To use, dispense one to two pumps directly onto dry skin and gently massage in circular motions. Add water to emulsify the formula, then rinse thoroughly for a clean, radiant finish.
IS this more of a night cleanser?
Amira O on Nov 27, 2025
BEST ANSWER: Chanel’s L’HUILE Anti-Pollution Cleansing Oil is suitable for night use. It is designed to remove makeup, impurities, and pollution particles, making it an ideal first step in your evening skincare routine.
