Often my skin starts to sting and turn ichy when I use oils for the face (eg. olive oil, abricot seed oil)). Especially my eyes sting, my eyelids swell and I get undereye bags. Though it's not as...

I ordered this before I started using MMU, because I'd heard that it can clog your pores and that cleansing oil is a good way of preventing that. I found it on ebay for $15, which is waaaay more...

I've tried the Shu Uemura cleansing oil at my friend's place but as I don't know how my skin will react to cleansing oils long term, I decided to purchase a cheaper alternative since Kose Softymo...

I've repurchased this twice already, and i love it! I loved this much more than the shu uemura cleansing oils (I've tried the pink and yellow ones). It does not leave an oily residue on my skin,...

Great product! I've never used a cleansing oil before, but my regular cleanser wasn't removing all my make up, so I thought I'd give this a try. It works really well to remove stubborn mascara...

Very cheap compared to other oil cleansers such as Shu uemura and other luxury japanese brands. It takes off all my eyemakeup, however it has a bit of trouble cleansing the skin. I still see...

This is my first cleansing oil, so I don't really have something to compare it with. All I can say is that this is great for removing eye make-up and my skin feels clean after this but I...

I use this in place of my DHC deep cleasing oil. My mom came back with it from Japan and she also got me the refillable pack so it's gonna last a long long time. It's a little lighter than DHC, but...

A great, cheap and efficient alternative to Shu's cleansing oil. It removes my sunscreen and heavy makeup. I paid about $7, which is a great deal. I use about 1 1/2 pumps, so this bottle will last...

It's the first time I use a cleansing oil, and I've been using it for a week now, and it's worked wonders on my skin. My face is brighter, pores look smaller and my oily t-zone isn't oily anymore....

I really like this cleansing oil. I only use it if I have a full face of makeup and it just dissolves everything. I have followed up with an oil free cleanser and I have also just used the oil. ...

Can't live without this! It's the only product I trust to get every last trace of makeup off. It's not too viscous or watery, has a good slip, washes off cleanly, and has a pleasant orange scent. I...
