After that, I avoided using oils. That product was probably unusually rich in oil content! This product, however, is gentle and not too oily. I've been using it for a while now, and it hasn't caused any blemishes on my skin, which is fantastic. It feels fresh but doesn't dry out my skin! Also, it removes most makeup effectively, so I think it would be great for others to use too. The scent is likely to be universally appealing as well!
Cons1. While I'm generally satisfied with this product, it doesn't seem to remove mascara completely. However, it's an oil that cleanses without irritating the skin, leaving it feeling fresh. So, I'm willing to overlerate this minor issue and continue using the product. 2. The full-size product feels a bit small, so I wish they would release a larger size option!
Tip✔️Use lukewarm water when rinsing after massaging the cleanser. ✔️Follow up with a gentle cleansing foam as a second step. ✔️For mascara and eye makeup, use an eye makeup remover first, then cleanse with the oil to minimize skin irritation.

With four types of hyaluronic acid, my dry skin felt completely satisfied as it didn't feel parched after cleansing! The texture is thinner and lighter than typical cleansing oils, allowing me to use it without worrying about blemishes. I'm also expecting that with consistent use, it will gently dissolve impurities in the pores, helping to manage blackheads.
ConsThere wasn't anything particularly bad! If I had to pick something, some might find the formula a bit too thin.

No issues when used for double cleansing, and most importantly, no blemishes! I usually break out when suddenly changing cleansers, but not this time. With AHA, BHA, LHA, and PHA, my skin felt incredibly smooth after double cleansing. I loved it! As someone who's not a fan of overly oily cleansing oils that might linger on the skin, I appreciated this product's light, water-like texture from the moment I pumped it into my hand. It felt so lightweight! I used to prefer cleansing balms, but the inconvenience of scooping them out made me consider switching. Acnes really impressed me! It might be my imagination, but my complexion seemed brighter after cleansing. With all four hydroxy acids, I'm thinking of making this my go-to cleanser after using it a bit longer.
ConsThere weren't many downsides, but one thing I noticed was that during the oil-to-emulsion transition, it didn't turn white like most cleansing oils do when water is added. I wasn't sure if it was emulsifying properly. This aspect is important because if not done correctly, it could leave residue on the skin and potentially cause blemishes. It would have been better if the emulsification was more visible. Other than that, there was no tightness after cleansing, and everything else was great!

After using thick cleansing oils for so long, I found this lighter formula to be gentler during massage - a pleasant change! It emulsifies well too. Love the slim bottle design! I prefer applying directly from the container to my face, so this elongated shape is much more convenient than bulky alternatives. Effectively removes tints, eyeshadows, and more with gentle cleansing. True to its oily nature, it has great cleansing power (though I can't speak to its mascara-removing abilities). The scent is a mix of light floral notes with a subtle oily undertone. I found it pleasant, but it might not be for everyone. Having used many strongly-scented oils before, this one felt quite fragrant in comparison. The fluid texture and high concentration of exfoliating ingredients make this especially suitable for oily skin types. It's great for daily cleansing with the added benefit of gentle exfoliation!
ConsThe very fluid consistency makes it tricky to control the amount used, and it runs out quickly. Due to the high concentration of exfoliating ingredients, those with sensitive skin should use cautiously - perhaps once or twice a week or only when wearing heavy makeup. As someone prone to dermatitis, I experienced some tingling.
TipFor those with dermatitis, almost any product can be irritating. Be cautious and always follow up with a gentle, slightly acidic second cleanser.

But surprisingly, this product, despite being an oil, leaves my skin feeling as clean as a water cleanser would - no oily residue at all! It's amazing. There's no feeling of heaviness or worry about potential blemishes either. The texture is a bit thinner than most oils, which caught me off guard at first as it ran through my fingers. Just keep that in mind, and you'll find it's really great. Its cleansing effectiveness is impressive - even a small amount removes makeup thoroughly. It takes off eyeliner, lipstick, and other everyday makeup, making it perfect for daily use. It also emulsifies well, turning milky white. I appreciate that the scent isn't artificially strong, and the packaging is sleek and appealing.
ConsI'm not sure about its effectiveness in improving whiteheads and blackheads... I think I'll need to use it longer to see results!

I think it would be perfect for those with oily skin or anyone looking for a lightweight option during summer. Despite its light texture, I was pleasantly surprised by its cleansing effectiveness. It removed sebum well, emulsified nicely, and took off most of my makeup without a hitch. After using it for about a week, I didn't experience any significant blemishes. If it proves effective against blackheads with continued use, I'll definitely consider repurchasing!
ConsThere's not much to complain about, but if I had to nitpick, I'd say it feels a bit pricey for the amount you get unless you buy it on sale.
TipAs all cleansing oil users know, don't forget to emulsify thoroughly!

Cleansing effectiveness: Excellent! Usually, I use a separate lip and eye makeup remover, but with this product, there's no need. It even removes mascara gently and thoroughly. No need to worry about irritation from rubbing. Texture: Though it's an oil, it's incredibly lightweight. It glides on smoothly without any stickiness, feeling fresh and gentle. Scent: It's unscented, but there's a very faint chemical smell. However, it's not bothersome at all. After cleansing: I love how well it rinses off with warm water. My skin feels incredibly soft and hydrated after cleansing. While it might be too much for daily use, I'll definitely reach for it on days when I wear heavy makeup or when there's a lot of fine dust in the air.
ConsThere are absolutely no downsides like blemishes! It's great value for money and I highly recommend it.
TipYou know how double cleansing used to be all the rage? Nowadays, we know it can actually damage your skin barrier. When you're wearing heavy makeup, cleansing with oil and then rinsing thoroughly with warm water is sufficient. However, even if you have oily skin, using oil cleansers daily can be risky. For days when you've only applied sunscreen, a regular cleansing foam should be enough. At first, I disliked the slippery feeling, but once I got used to it, it started to feel wonderfully hydrating.

I use sunscreen daily, so I'm also a regular user of cleansing oils. However, I don't need something heavy-duty for removing full-face makeup. In that sense, this product was perfect for me. First off, the texture isn't overly oily, but rather has a light, fluid consistency. Despite this, it doesn't compromise on cleansing effectiveness. Sometimes, if sunscreen isn't removed properly, it can leave your face feeling stiff, but this product left my skin feeling clean and fresh. The scent was pleasant, and I didn't experience any blemishes at all. I'd recommend this product to those with oily skin like mine who prefer a lighter cleansing oil.
ConsThere weren't any major downsides to speak of. This product does what a cleansing oil should do without causing any irritation. If you find the price reasonable, I'd recommend giving it a try.

Texture: It has a light, water-like texture, which I think is one of the biggest advantages of the Acnes Cleansing Oil compared to other cleansing oils! Usually, when I use cleansing oils, they feel heavy and seem to clog my pores, so I had to wash multiple times, but this cleansing oil felt so light after use that I could feel my pores were free of impurities. Skin: My skin is dry and sensitive, so I prefer gentle, moisturizing products! For daily makeup, the cleansing oil alone was enough to remove makeup cleanly, so I used a combination of this cleansing oil and Dr. Lab Sulfur Powder Wash. I loved how it finished without any irritation to my skin and left it moisturized and refreshed! Overall: 5/5 Among the cleansing oils I've used, this one was the most satisfying in terms of finish and cleansing effectiveness! Especially for dry skin that remains dry even with thorough skincare, this moisturizing cleansing oil is like an oasis. I think I'll stick with this cleansing oil from now on!
ConsBlackhead and whitehead improvement: After using the cleansing oil, the improvement in blackheads and whiteheads wasn't noticeable enough to see with the naked eye! While it left no residue, I had to use it with other exfoliating products to see improvement.
TipIf your goal is to improve dead skin cells, whiteheads, and blackheads, I recommend using an exfoliating product along with this cleansing oil!

It effectively removes makeup and quickly emulsifies with water, resulting in minimal skin irritation. This cleansing oil is a safe choice for those seeking a gentle, non-irritating option.
ConsI'm not a fan of fragranced cleansing oils, and this product does have a scent. I question the necessity of adding fragrance to a cleansing oil - it seems unnecessary!
