I want to start oil cleansing and found all your posts on it really helpful! I was going to buy the Simple oil as a start, but apparently the company just stopped making it 🙁
Is there anything similar you recommend? I’ve been trying to find another grapeseed oil based cleansing oil without fragrances in that price category and it seems to be an empty Venn diagram.

In reply to Natália. When I'm not wearing makeup, sometimes I just use cleansing oil once. You could definitely use it on your face - try it and see how it goes!

Hi, Michelle! I have very dry skin and I am thinking about getting me an oil cleanser. I don’t usually wear makeup on a daily basis, but when I do, would you say it is possible to instead of using a cleansing oil and a foaming cleaser, use the cleansing oil two times? Also, if I use a gentle fragrance-free shower oil on my body and my face skin is most likely as dry as my body skin, can I also use it on my face?

I have a question that I REALLY hope someone can help me with: Why is it that I generally find cleansing oils to actually be VERY drying, when seemingly everyone else love them? E.g. when I used the Clinique Take The Day Off cleansing oil it dried out my cheeks so much that it caused breakouts! I have pretty combination skin, I think: T-zone gets pretty oily and has quite visible pores, and my cheeks are kinda “normal” but tend to get dry if I use something astringent/stripping. I’m wondering if it might be some of the emulsifiers that I’m reacting to (I do tend to have very reactive skin in general, and not just in regards to skincare)?

I am such a huge fan of cleansing oils! If you had said this to me a few years ago however I would have looked back at you in shock horror! I am have oily skin and putting more oils on my skin previously use to be a big no no, but after witnessing how great they clean my skin remove pollutants and make-up from the day I haven’t looked back. From your line-up I love Precleanse, and actually haven’t tried any of the others but they do sound amazing especially the Shu Uemura! x

In reply to New York For Beginners. I was so excited when I discovered them during the micellar water craze! I have oily skin and use oil-based sunscreen so micellar water was always a bit of a pain because it doesn't quite cut through the oil as well and require a bit of dragging and tugging...

In reply to LindaLibraLoca.

I haven’t tried the version from The Body Shop… in fact I haven’t tried much skincare from them at all! I’ll have to look out for their cleansing oil 🙂

Dermatologica pre-cleanse is my choice when I use a cleansing oil (when wearing full coverage foundation); have used it for years on my sensitive skin, even eyes, with no issues. I tried straight up coconut oil when the craze hit and my skin didn’t like it at all. I typically react to products with botanical oils, so wondering if those in this product are very low concentration.
