It flows slowly and has a heavy feel. There was little sloshing sensation. At first, when rubbing it, the dense texture makes it feel a bit heavy and stuffy. However, when adding water and going through the emulsification process, it becomes light and smooth, effectively removing impurities and makeup. After rinsing with water, the oily cleansing feel typical of oil cleansers is gone, and there is no more stuffy feeling! Contrary to the initial texture and feel, it washes off well with just water. I usually wash my hair first and then cleanse my face, and on days I use this oil cleanser, I do oil cleansing -> shampoo -> foam cleansing. The problem with oil cleansers was that my skin would feel stuffy, so I'd unconsciously skip the oil cleansing and go straight to the foam cleanser, which was inconvenient. But with this product, I never felt the urge to rinse it off quickly, which was surprising. It seems not all oil cleansers leave a stuffy feeling. As for cleansing power, I tested it on Mud Skinny Curling Mascara, Clio Shasosim, Luna Pencil Concealer, and Water Tint. Excluding the strongly-set mascara and pigmented water tint, the other products were easily removed without much scrubbing. I prioritize skin expression over color cosmetics, so I use multiple base products and apply sunscreen almost daily. This means I need thorough double cleansing, and this product was great at easily removing those base products with just a small amount. The scent has a slight oily smell, which is understandable given it's an oil cleanser. It's not overly bothersome. The best part is that there's no stuffy feeling left after using it!
ConsThere were no issues like stinging, itching, or breakouts after using it, but my mom said the skin around her eyes became red after using this product. It seems like her eye area skin is very sensitive. I also tested it further to see if mascara-type products are hard to remove, and even products that usually come off easily don't completely wipe off. 1) It applies more on the back of the hand than when applied to the eyes. 2) Even so, considering that I rubbed the back of the hand harder than the face, using this product would likely require using a lip and eye makeup remover as well, which would be less irritating. +I also tested how well it removes eye glitter, and there was a bit of residue left behind. It's disappointing that mascara doesn't wipe off easily, but it's a great product in terms of user experience. I'd recommend it to those who don't do heavy makeup daily and dislike the stuffy feeling of oil cleansers.
