    If you've read any of my other reviews, you know that generally speaking, I love Shu's cleansing oils. This is by far my favorite! White recovery has a soft, sweet almost flowery scent. It's not...

    I have been using the cleansing oil for about three months now- and I'm still not convinced. It does clean quite well, but the texture is disgusting and doesn't feel good to rub in at all. I...

    I have so far used this violet one and the green (with anti-oxidant). I don't find much difference between both. It's the best all time favourite cleanser for me, it does not strip your skin dry...

    Like the other Shu Uemura cleansing oils, I tried this as a sample. I tend to favor the one I finally bought, but I really think this did help with my flaky dull skin. However, I think using the...

    This is probably the best cleanser I have found thus far. The only other oil cleanser I've ever used is the one by DHC and it does not compare to this one. I use it every night to take off my...

    This is sold for A LOT cheaper in asia, so if you happen to visit, I'd recommend stocking up. Got mine on sale for around $40 (the 450ml one + a 50ml tester) This cleanser is my HG! It deserves...

    This is the only cleansing oil I've ever used. I don't use it every day, since I feel guilty about how much it costs! This definitely leaves my face feeling bright, light and tight. Although...

    I noticed that though this is called "whitening" it says on the bottle that the oil PREPARES your skin for whitening products. Not sure how that's different from their other cleansing oils, but it...

    I really wanted to like this cleanser, but it made me break out so horribly! I normally get very few breakouts with just a few zits here and there when I'm PMSing. After about 1.5-2 weeks of use I...
