Review (3/5): Doesn't completely remove waterproof sunscreen and makeup
I bought this as a cheaper alternative to replace the Shiseido Perfect Cleansing Oil that I've been using as a waterproof sunscreen and makeup remover. The Shiseido Perfect Cleansing Oil easily removes the Shiseido waterproof sunscreen and primer/foundation/BB creams/CC creams that I use. Since the Shiseido waterproof sunscreen is formulated to bind together to form a stronger sun protection barrier when it encounters water/sweat and works great for outdoor and water activities, it is almost impossible to wash off without using an oil-based cleanser. After using the Shiseido Perfect Cleansing Oil or the Neutrogena Ultra Light Cleansing Oil, I follow up with a foam cleanser or soap to wash away the oil and makeup residue before applying a serum and moisturizer.
While it feels like the Sheiseido Perfect Cleansing Oil removes all of the sunscreen and makeup, it doesn't feel like the Neutrogena Ultra Light Cleansing Oil gets rid of all of the sunscreen and makeup. When I use the foam cleanser or soap after using the cleansing oils, my face feels completely clean after using the Shiseido product, whereas I still feel some oily residue on my skin from the sunscreen and makeup when I use the Neutrogena product, causing me to wash my face a second time with the foam cleanser or soap. I will probably try the Shiseido Sengansenka Perfect Oil Cleansing Makeup next time to see if it works any better.
