Guerlain Abeille Royale Anti-Pollution Cleansing Oil 150ml

Guerlain Abeille Royale Anti-Pollution Cleansing Oil 150ml is a luxurious, honey-scented first cleanse from the French house's flagship bee-derived skincare line. The ultra-light oil dissolves all types of makeup — including waterproof mascara and long-wear foundation — and lifts away SPF, sunscreen filters, sebum and pollution particles in a single sweep. On contact with water, it emulsifies into a soft milky cleanser that rinses cleanly without leaving an oily film or upsetting the skin's natural pH.

About Guerlain Abeille Royale

Guerlain has been a Parisian perfumery and skincare house since 1828 and has, since the 1960s, been associated with the bee — the imperial emblem of Napoleon III chosen by founder Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain. The Abeille Royale range is the brand's bee-derived flagship skincare collection, formulated around royal jelly and honeys from the Ouessant island reserve off Brittany and from Corsica, where Guerlain works with protected bee populations.

Key ingredients

• Royal Jelly — the active secretion fed exclusively to the queen bee, rich in proteins, lipids, sugars and B-vitamins; the active core of the Abeille Royale range.
• Honey (Ouessant and Corsican) — humectant honeys that soothe and condition the skin.
• Squalane — a stable, fast-absorbing emollient that mimics the skin's own natural oils.
• Sunflower Seed Oil Unsaponifiables and Beta-Sitosterol — plant-derived lipids that help support the skin barrier.
• Light esters (caprylic/capric triglyceride, ethylhexyl palmitate) — the carrier oils that dissolve makeup and pollutant residues.

Key benefits

• Removes all makeup, including waterproof, in one step
• Lifts away pollutant particles, sebum and SPF residues
• Emulsifies into a milk on contact with water for an easy rinse
• Preserves the skin's hydration and natural pH
• Leaves the skin feeling clean, soft and immediately more luminous
• No greasy film and no need to over-cleanse afterwards

Who it's for

Best suited to anyone wearing daily SPF, makeup or city-pollution-exposed skin who wants a thorough first cleanse without the tightness of a traditional foaming wash. The non-comedogenic, oil-based texture works across normal, dry, mature and even oily-but-dehydrated skin, and the gentle pH-respecting formula makes it a sensible choice for those who suffer from dryness or rebound oiliness after harsher cleansers.

How to use

1. Apply 1–2 pumps to dry hands and warm between the palms.
2. Massage onto dry skin in slow circular motions, working over the face, eyes and lips to dissolve makeup and SPF.
3. Wet the hands and continue massaging — the oil will transform into a milky emulsion.
4. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
5. Follow with a second cleanse (a gel or cream cleanser) if you wear heavy makeup or sunscreen, then continue with your usual skincare routine.
