Review (4/5): Good Basic Oil
3.5/5 Rating
I have sensitive, dry, acne prone skin with occasional bouts of plaque psoriasis. My main concerns/wants are products that are gentle, don't strip my skin and cleanse well.
This was my first foray into oil cleansing and the double cleanse method. I used [[ASIN:B004RRGXKI Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Cleanser, 4 Count]] in conjecture with this cleansing oil. This oil is a great, basic, no frills cleanser. I usually needed 2-3 pumps because my dry skin would soak up the oil and I needed extra to actually cleanse. It has a flora scent which while I didn't feel over powered by, I didn't love either. The oil does a great job taking off daily sunblock and makeup. I did not use it to take off eye makeup but micellar water instead because I found it did not take off mascara well at all.
I never broke out when using it and always felt clean after washing with it. It didn't strip my skin but it didn't appear to help it either. After finishing the bottle I eventually went to [[ASIN:B00EJ9RUKQ The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Milk]] which serves my ultra dry skin better. I would recommend this to someone new to oil cleansing or someone wanting a good, basic oil.
