This Unexpected Product Leaves My Skin Feeling Baby Soft & It's 20% Off

When I feel texture on my skin, I typically look to products like a chemical exfoliant or a hydrating cream to smooth it out. I never thought that a cleanser could be responsible for making my skin feel just as baby soft—until I found Fig. 1 Micellar Oil Cleanser.

The unique cleanser transforms from a heavy oil to a milky cleanser to remove every last trace of makeup, along with dirt and impurities. And my favorite part? Every wash leaves your skin feeling softer than when you do a hydrating mask.

Flashback a few years: I was using makeup wipes daily. When the ingredients in the wipes started to irritate my skin, I moved on to cotton rounds doused in micellar water.

This made a huge difference for my skin—but it wasn't the most sustainable choice, as the cotton rounds were single-use products. I could have swapped in reusable cotton rounds, but I chose to transition to an oil cleanser instead. Yet again, I ran into problems with every option I tried.

While you've likely heard of micellar water, this oil variation is slightly different. It contains tiny capsules of oil called "micelles" within an oil base rather than a water base (which is how micellar water is formulated).

In the Fig. 1 formula, this oil base is a combination of two plant-based oils: squalane and grapeseed oil. This combo ensures the cleanser keeps skin feeling extra hydrated even when removing every last trace of makeup and grime. What's more, it also prevents that dry, stripped feeling that many other makeup removers leave.

While I'm a huge fan of the Fig. 1 Cleanser—which also comes as a biodegradable wipe—the dermatologist-developed brand has an array of best-selling products that are bound to leave your skin glowing.

And thanks to a special coupon, you can save 20% on your next Fig. 1 order with code MBG20. Although I'd put the cleansers at the very top of your list, our deputy commerce editor swears by the Fig. 1 Retinol Night Cream. The gentle "level 1" formula let her ease into retinol without overwhelming her skin.

Other team favorites include the Exfoliating Body Polish—the refreshing scrub gently removes dead skin and leaves behind a luxurious scent—and the Glycolic Glow Treatment i.e., your one-stop shop for a brighter, more-even complexion.
