| Has anyone tried one of these cleansing oils? It looks like there are 3 formulas. It sounds like it has been around for a long time...has anyone tried them? |

| I used to use the original one when I wore make up everyday. It was great at removing make up. If you decided to try it, remember to use another cleanser after it otherwise you might get whiteheads. |

I don't understand why you need to use a cleanser to wash your face after you use a cleansing oil. But for the oil cleansing method (OCM) that many ppl are talking about here, you don't need to wash your face with a cleanser afterwards, why is that? Will it cause whiteheads if I don't then? So what exactly is in those commercial cleansing oil? Thanks!  |

I think because this product functions more like a make-up remover. I don't have the ingredient list for this product so I don't know what's in it that might cause whitehead. I think OCM is more "pure" if that makes any sense.
Edited to say that this cleansing oil is very good at removing all make-up. I could just rub it all over my face and then rinse it off. I think it takes off all make-up and dirt on my face (an easy but effective way that's suitable for lazy people like me). However, this cleansing oil doesn't clean the pores and it is best to use a gentle cleanser after the cleansing oil to remove any residul. I hope this makes sense. |

It makes perfect sence...I have been looking for a good makeup remover that does not dry my skin. I have been trying to go by the Dr. H program where you do not use anything at night on your face. I dont like the cleansing milk and the clansing cream does not take off make up so I have been using Enzyme cleanser (Mario Badescu) and it is really drying. It sounded like this oil is the miracle product online...I have ordered it and will let you all know!
Thanks for the recommendations! |

IMHO whether or not to use a regular cleanser after cleansing oil depends your skin type and specific concerns, the skin-friendliness and comedogenocity of the cleansing oil ingredients, and the ability of the cleansing oil to rinse clean, i.e., emulsify with water and not leave residue or a film behind.
I use Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil to remove sunscreen and makeup, then I follow up with my regular cleanser. I have combo/oily skin prone to breakouts and although the Fancl rinses clean and has skin-friendly ingredients I double-cleanse for insurance. HTHS |

Hi Olivia I am very happy with my Fancl but I am so tempted to try the Shu Uemura because of the beauuuuutiful limited edition bottles  The only thing holding me back is I heard they are mineral oil based, this might be a problem for skin like mine. I was trying to find the ingredients of all 3 cleanser types but could not find that info on the web. Yes, please post a review after you've tried it, I'm looking forward to that! |

I hope it does not contain mineral oil...the only ingredients I saw were...Formula contains macadamia nut oil, jojoba oil and rosemary extract for moisturization and anti-oxidant benefits.
I will read the packaging when it comes and let you know. Hopefully it came today! |

| I tracked my package and it said it was delivered last night so I was so excited to get home and try it but it turns out they delived it to a totally different city! The lady that signed for it agreed to give it back so hopefully I'll get it next week! Just for the record Shu Uemura was great...I called them to tell them what happend and they got right on it and were supper friendly...I ordered from the Shu Uemura website! UPS was rude and not helpful at all!!! |
