What they liked

  • Thick, viscous texture that doesn't drip or run
  • Breaks down makeup and sunscreen without rubbing
  • Lightweight feel despite oil benefits

What they flagged

    Nothing. None of the experts who reviewed it raised a problem.

    What the gurus are saying

    This jelly-to-oil texture is what makes it stand out, it gives you the makeup-melting power of an oil cleanser without the mess or runny feel that deters people from oil cleansing. Gurus praise how it breaks down makeup and sunscreen quickly with minimal rubbing, making it especially good for anyone who finds traditional oil cleansers too slippery or clumsy to use. The formula leans simple, built mostly on grape seed and sunflower seed oils plus antioxidants, though one reviewer flagged the fragrance as a potential skip for sensitive noses.

    ✓Mixed
    "It's a one step cleanse you apply it to dry skin and then rinse it off and they say use it as a first step cleanse or for makeup removing but it does have fragrance in it so I didn't love that factor about it. If you don't mind fragrance in a product it's okay, a lot of people enjoy this one. It's a nice product for some people if you don't mind a scent."
    ✓Yay
    "Krave Beauty's Makeup Rewind is such a consistent part of my routine and daily life that sometimes I forget to talk about it. I love it because it's in between a cleansing balm and a cleansing oil, for when I can't be bothered with either. It's more like a jelly that instantly turns into an oil once you start gently massaging it onto the skin, and it clears away makeup and sunscreen very quickly without having to rub or massage too much."
    ✓Yay
    "I love this stuff, it is so nice. It feels like a light jelly, kind of breaks into an oil just like all the other first cleanse products. I massage it onto dry skin, break down all my makeup and sunscreen, rinse it off, then go in with my next cleanse. This is just so nice. I find people who don't love a typical oil cleanser as their first cleanse will enjoy this. And it has this light, really pretty, faint scent to it that makes it also a nice experience. Love this stuff."
    ✓Yay
    "This was like one of my absolute favorite products that I used in 2023 and I've brought it with me into the new year. You can see it's kind of like a gel and then I'm going to warm it up in my hands and then I'm going to apply it to my face and let it sink in and massage it in to kind of start breaking down my makeup. [...] I feel like that first cleanse did a really good job at removing the majority of my makeup."
    ✓Yay
    "It's actually a gel which then turns into an oil on the skin, so it doesn't have that oiliness that oil cleansers have. And it's also easier to use because it's not dripping all down your arm getting all over your clothes, and yet you still get that great oil cleanse. It's less runny in terms of its oil and it just works really, really well. I absolutely adore this, and this is probably the one product that's converted me to regular oil cleansing."

    "It's also packed full of antioxidants so it's got some additional benefit. [...] A little goes such a long way, will probably last me like 6 to 10 months, so I honestly think this is absolutely worth it. I love the packaging. [...] If like me you're too clumsy to really do an oil cleanse, give this a go. Your skin will love it, it'll remove everything like that, and I just think you get a more pleasant cleansing experience."
    NEXT LEVEL CLEANSERS - Get The Best Skin (Prevent Blackheads)
    "The reason I love this is oil cleansers are great, they can break apart even really stubborn makeup and SPF. A lot of people like to start with an oil cleanse and then work onto a gel cleanser afterwards, which is [...] a double cleanse. However, I am someone that's super messy, oil cleanses just get everywhere, they end up on your robes, they end up on your clothes, they run down the neck. [...] I actually found this product which is a gel which transforms into an oil."
    EFFECTIVE BLACKHEAD REMOVAL - Best Skincare For Blackheads
    "This is the Krave Beauty Makeup Rewind cleanser, this is an oil cleanser but actually goes onto the skin as a gel so if like me you're super messy when you're using oil they just get everywhere and that kind of puts you off using them anyway, don't worry just reach for this, goes on as a beautiful gel then as you work it into the skin transforms into an oil which is going to be the great first step in your effective double cleanse."

    "This is the Krave Beauty Makeup Rewind, which is a really great option if you're looking for an oil cleanser but in a gel form. None of the mess, none of that oil running down your arms. This goes on as a gel and it transforms into an oil on the skin. For messy people like me, and honestly I'm hideously messy with my skincare applications especially cleansers, this works really well and it's a great oil cleanse option that just removes everything for you."

    "I personally love this because it's kind of like a gel and an oil cleanser all in [...] one. It goes on as a gel then transforms to an oil on the skin, so if you're messy with your oils this could be a great way of getting around this. I find because it washes off with literally zero trace on the skin you can use it as a standalone cleanser rather than having to follow with a double cleanse. [...] I absolutely love this one and a little goes such a long way."
    ✓Yay
    "One that I really enjoy is the Crave Beauty [...] jelly oil cleanser, it's really nice, definitely really nice. [...] For this jelly oil consistency I think the Crave Beauty one is better than the Fenty Skin cleanser."

    2022 SKIN CARE EMPTIES 🗑 PRODUCTS I USED UP! @DrDrayzday
    "Crave Beauty came out with this Makeup Rewind, [...] a transforming jelly oil cleanser. I really liked this a lot, it's a thick, almost viscous consistency but it nicely emulsifies, it has a light hint of grape scent to it and it rinses off. This is very effective. [...] This is one to try out if you are in the market for something different, [...] they really did a good job with this one of a kind jelly oil cleanser."
    AUGUST 2022 SKINCARE & BEAUTY FAVORITES 😊 @DrDrayzday
    "I've been using this for several months, it was gifted to me, and honestly I've continued to use it and I'm really impressed with it. It's a first step cleanser that's somewhere between a cleansing oil and a balm, a transforming jelly oil cleanser with sunflower oil and rose water. You put it on dry skin as the first step of a double cleanse."
    ✓Yay
    "I love this because it features grape seed oil, sunflower seed oil, and vitamin E, so all those omega fatty acids that are great and nourishing for your skin. It allows you to really get off any stubborn makeup, especially around the eyes where you really shouldn't be tugging or rubbing too hard to get rid of any type of waterproof mascara. It's fantastic. It feels so good on the skin and it really gets the job done in an easy and efficient manner."
    ✓Yay
    "The Alpha-H cleansing balm and the Crave Beauty Makeup Rewind both smell nice and are really just a joy to use."
    ✓Yay
    "It comes in 3.4 ounces so you can travel with it. [...] The fact that it is a jelly consistency, it's not super oily, it's almost like a lightweight facial oil if you had to compare it, and it doesn't feel like it's sitting on your face. So it is the first step of a double cleanse. You definitely do need to follow it up with another cleanser. [...] It literally looks like a jelly and once you start to massage it in, it becomes a very very very lightweight oil."
    ✓Yay
    "My favorite cleansing oil that was actually in my best of 2025 videos, the Krave Beauty Makeup Rewind Cleansing Oil. Oh my god, that one is absolutely incredible, but doesn't have kind of like the messiness or slipperiness of a standard cleansing oil, but still gets the job done for a great price point. I would definitely recommend it because it has a lot better ingredients that are actually going to help the health of your skin."

    The BEST Cleansers of 2025 🫧
    "I fell in love when I started using this. [...] I really love the simplicity of this formula as well. They primarily use upcycled grape seed oil as well as sunflower seed oil, both of which are great moisturizing oils. [...] If you're looking for a pre-cleanser that's best for sensitive skin and you don't want to overdo it with all the different ingredients, just wanting something simple that will last you a long, long time, this is the one for you."
    The Best Cleansing Balms & Oils of 2023
    "This formula is so unique in the sense that it's kind of like a midpoint between a cleansing oil and a cleansing balm it's not so runny that it's like a cleansing oil but it's not like a physical balm that you scoop out of the main shout out ingredients are sunflower seed oil one of the highest quality oils you can use for removing makeup and sunscreen"
    My Updated Evening Skincare Routine - Unwind With Me
    "This is incredible. [...] It's not a cleansing balm, it's like a hybrid formula that's this jelly. [...] It does such a good job of just breaking down any sunscreen and oil on the face so that the cleanser afterwards can just wipe it all away. It's really hydrating and nourishing to the skin, I've never noticed any skin sensitivity whatsoever, and I love the consistency of the formula because it's not as messy as a cleansing oil."
    The BEST Cleansing Balms of 2022!
    "This is so freaking good, I have no words for how good this product is. I [...] was very hesitant to use this one because [...] oil cleansers aren't always my thing, I don't love how messy they are, [...] but I finally tried it and I've been using it daily, every single day for the past two months, and I'm just hooked on it, I can't stop using it."
    ✓Yay
    "Makeup Rewind is my favorite product. [...] Use more of that, everybody."
