5. Pros and Cons
1. Formulation & Scent
This is an lightweight oil-based product that gently removes makeup and impurities from the face. It also keeps the skin soft and moisturized after cleansing.
And this product has a natural lavender scent. It’s not an artificial scent, so it provides calm mood. After double cleansing, the scent almost disappears.
2. How to use
- Remove eye makeup with eye makeup remover.
- Apply the cleansing oil to dry hands and face.
- Massage the oil cleanser into dry skin, including the eye area, for 1 minute.
- Add water and massage the skin to emulsify the oil for 1 minute.
- Rinse with lukewarm water and follow with a cleansing foam.
- Rinse again with lukewarm water.
3. Before & After
I have been using this cleansing oil when I have combination skin in the middle of summer, and even though I used waterproof makeup with a setting spray, my makeup was well removed. I tried removing various makeup products on my wrist and they were all cleanly removed without any residue
