Ultime8 Sublime Tsubaki Cleansing Oil by shu uemura is a luxurious, plant-oil based cleanser that removes makeup and impurities while leaving skin hydrated and smooth. This cleansing oil blends eight botanical oils, including Japanese tsubaki, into a silky formula that dissolves makeup, sunscreen and surface grime without stripping natural moisture.

The 15.2 fl. oz. size is ideal for daily use at home or as a long-lasting staple in a skincare routine.

How does this oil remove makeup and still leave skin hydrated?

The oil-to-milk formulation breaks down oil-based makeup and sunscreen, then transforms with water to lift residues away without tugging at the skin. Its blend of botanical oils helps lock in moisture during cleansing, so the skin’s natural barrier is supported rather than stripped.

• Massages into dry skin to dissolve long-wear makeup and SPF
• Emulsifies into a milky texture on contact with water for easy rinsing
• Botanical oils replenish lipids to prevent tightness after cleansing

Can I use Ultime8 on sensitive or oily skin?

The formula is crafted for all skin types; it cleanses without harsh detergents that can irritate sensitive skin and is lightweight enough to avoid leaving a heavy residue on oil-prone complexions. Those with sensitivity should patch-test new products, while oily-skin users can follow with their preferred water-based treatments or toners.

• Suitable for dry, normal, combination, oily, and sensitive skin types
• Non-stripping formula helps maintain skin comfort and balance
• Rinses clean to prepare skin for serums or moisturizers

What is the best way to use this cleansing oil in my routine?

Apply the oil to dry hands and massage into a dry face to dissolve makeup and impurities. Add a little water to emulsify until the texture turns milky, then continue massaging and rinse thoroughly; follow with your usual serums and moisturizer.

• Use 3–4 pumps on dry skin, massaging for 30–60 seconds
• Emulsify with water to lift residue, then rinse fully with lukewarm water
• Follow with targeted treatments, serums, or a light moisturizer as needed

What makes the Ultime8 formula special compared to other cleansing oils?

This cleansing oil combines a curated blend of botanical oils, including tsubaki, to offer both effective makeup removal and skin-conditioning benefits. The texture is lightweight yet luxurious, and the single-step oil cleanse can simplify routines without sacrificing a clean, hydrated finish.

• Features Japanese tsubaki extract alongside a multi-oil complex
• One-step cleansing reduces the need for a separate oil and moisturizer during the wash
• Made in Japan with a focus on texture, purity, and sensory experience

Who is this for? This cleansing oil is aimed at anyone who wants an effective yet gentle way to remove makeup and daily impurities while preserving skin moisture—makeup wearers, those who use sunscreen daily, and people seeking a sensorial cleansing step that prepares skin for treatment products. It’s suitable for multi-step routines and minimalists alike, offering a reliable, nourishing first cleanse for a broad range of skin types.
