    I got this in a set so it's not the full size but big enough to have used it for a few weeks. I like the smell (sort of vanilla) and the texture which is thicker than an oil or gel. It removes most...

    I so wanted to love this cleanser. It's an oil that starts out as a gel and becomes oil as you rub it into your skin. Then you emulsify with water and rinse off like any oil cleanser. It smells...

    I love how this makes my skin feel. I have dry skin in winter and this wash helps balance my skin.

    I found this on clearance at Marshalls. It was TEN DOLLARS. I picked it up because I knew Algenist products were normally expensive and I can't resist a deal lol. I didn't even google it beforehand...

    Best melting cleanser ever used. I think it’s a bit pricey but so far I don’t know other oil or balm does the same to wash away makeup with such ease. It might be a bit hard to massage at the...

    This is not the best cleanser I've had... the price is definitely not as bad as many other Algenist products, but I was expecting more from it. It doesn't remove my makeup as well as certain other...

    This cleanser really removes my makeup and babies my skin in the process. Wish it wasn't so expensive. This would be HG for me but afraid to continually use it because how pricey it is...

    I've used a few Algenist products in the past and i will continue doing so (the anti-aging repairing oil is a favourite) but this cleanser was a total failure for me. I've used cleansing oils from...

    Well....with beauty and skincare products it always depends on how it reacts with your skin. So if you love this product and had ZERO adverse rect. then this isn't for you. If you had a weird...

    TL;DR: Shu Uemura cleansing oils are better than the Algenist Melting Cleanser, but only slightly. Both remove makeup using the same principle, but if you're too intimidated to get a straight up...

    this is a wonderful cleanser, but the gel phase just feels like vaseline. and the oil phase.. just feels like a melted vaseline. way too expensive to justify this, also in an extremely tiny bottle....

    This is the first oil type cleanser that I have tries. And probably my last. It does not remove make up thoroughly. It leaves your skin not with a moisturized feel, but a feeling of residue that...

    This works fine but the smell is just awful. It smells like the pink liquid soap in the bathroom of a gas station. Way too artificial. I like the texture and the way my skin feels after but the...

    I bought this product after reading Beautypedia's review. It starts out as a gel cleanser and you apply it to your dry face. After rubbing it in, it turns to oil and once you add some water it...
