Highly effective, clean rinsing, no other cleanser needed to follow up
I used to use the makeup remover cloths to take off makeup, but now I use this. In my own tests, I can use cloth, then this oil. Following with a fresh cloth, and I'm taking off a ton more makeup. Same happens with other cleansers. If I use this oil first, nothing comes off afterwards. In other words, the oil removes makeup more effectively & completely than other methods.<br /><br />I have very oily, acne-prone skin, and this is the only oil-based product I have ever been able to consistently use. I've probably gone through 2 dozen bottles over a 2-year or longer timeframe, and I have not experienced any breakouts from using it.<br /><br />I wear waterproof mascara, eyeliner, and concealer every day, plus I use multiple layers of setting spray - in addition to a full face of non-waterproof cosmetics. Neutrogena Ultra Light Cleansing Oil cuts through absolutely all of it with just a couple of pumps and a single application.<br /><br />My method of use with very oily skin: apply to dry face, massaging in, even down my neck. Spend time massaging into eyelash line to make sure mascara & eyeliner are completely broken down. Rinse hands off with warm water (no soap needed to remove!). Use a Neutrogena makeup remover cloth to remove majority of broken down makeup and cleansing oil. Follow with acne wash (not necessary if this is not part of your acne-prevention regimen). If you have normal to dry skin, rinsing face with warm water is all you'll need to do. Soaps & cleansers are totally unneeded to remove the oil.<br /><br />Does not burn my eyes (blurs vision because it's oil, duh), does not make existing breakouts worse. Used daily, my breakouts actually heal faster. Middle-aged skin, so I used to get the occasional dry spot (despite the natural oiliness...hormones are a b*tch), and that has stopped, as well.
