Our take on the EltaMD Oil-In-Gel Cleanser

EltaMD Oil-In-Gel Cleanser is a 3.4 fl oz facial cleanser that starts as a silky gel, melts into an oil, and rinses to a milky emulsion. It is non-comedogenic, fragrance-free and aimed at acne-prone and sensitive skin, with antioxidants added for environmental stress. The best new price is $24.99 at Target as of November 5, 2026, and three stores carry it new.

Best forAcne-prone skin that still feels tight after foaming cleansersSensitive skin that reacts to fragranceRemoving sunscreen and light makeup in one stepAnyone who wants a gel cleanser with a softer, oil-based feel
Pros
  • Gel-to-oil texture cleans without the stripped, squeaky feel of foaming washes
  • Fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, so it suits reactive and breakout-prone skin
  • Antioxidants support the skin barrier against pollution and free radicals
  • Rinses to a milky emulsion, so it does not leave a heavy oil film
  • Dermatologically tested and marketed for all skin types
Cons
  • 3.4 fl oz is small for a daily cleanser, so it runs out quickly
  • The oil phase can feel slippery and takes extra rinsing for some users
  • Not a heavy-duty makeup remover; waterproof mascara needs a separate step
  • Higher cost per ounce than drugstore gel cleansers

Questions and answers

Is EltaMD Oil-In-Gel Cleanser good for acne-prone skin?
Yes. It is labeled non-comedogenic and fragrance-free, and it is marketed for acne-prone and sensitive skin. It cleanses without the stripped feeling that can push oily skin to overproduce sebum.
Does it remove makeup?
It lifts sunscreen and light makeup as it turns from gel to oil. Waterproof mascara and long-wear eye makeup usually need a dedicated remover first.
Is it fragrance-free?
Yes. The formula is unscented and lists no added fragrance, which is why sensitive-skin users report little irritation.
How much is it and where is the best price?
The best new price is $24.99 at Target as of November 5, 2026. Three stores sell it new, so compare before buying.
