Review (5/5): Mild yet powerful cleansing oil
This is what I use as the first step to my night time skin care routine. It is a gentle yet powerful cleansing oil that effectively removes layers of sunscreen, waterproof mascara, liquid eyeliner, liquid glitter eyeshadow, and eyebrow pomade at once. I haven’t tried this with liquid foundation yet, so I cannot say much about it’s ability to remove a full-face make-up.
What I love about it is the texture. It is not a watery nor a heavy type of cleansing oil. It is rather lightweight that easily glides onto the skin for a gentle massage. Two pumps of this cleansing oil is enough to cleanse my entire face thoroughly without leaving any traces of waterproof make-up and sunscreen. It also doesn’t leave any greasy or sticky residue.
On its own, it is a hydrating and refreshing cleanser. I have an oily skin, so I love how I feel very refreshed after using this; it helps remove excess oil and unclog my pores. I noticed that my nose where I have the most blackheads is clearer than before.
Rather than using cleansing wipes, I have always used cleansing oils and balms because these truly remove make-up and sunscreen. I also love that cleansing oils and balms are environmentally-friendly without leaving any wastes. However, not all cleansing oils and balms are created equal. I feel that this A24 cleansing oil is very luxurious due to its premium ingredients. It is the only cleansing oil that I have tried that can be used on its own without a second or follow-up foam/gel cleanser.
I strongly recommend this product to anyone in need of a cleansing oil for hydration and thorough removal of make-up and sunscreen.
