“Pure Cleansing Oil”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (decyl glucoside, sorbeth-30 tetraoleate) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently. Still keep in mind that any cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.
Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: decyl glucoside

“Melt blackhead and unclog pores”

ExfoliationNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“Rice bran oil helps to gently exfoliate dead skin cells, reducing the look of large pores while rinsing clean.”
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.

User reviews
2 of 3 community members would buy it again.
Tried this product because of the countless positive reviews and used it for several months but my acne progressively got worse but it didn’t occur to me that the cleansing oil was breaking me out because of all the good reviews. Eventually decided to swap it out for the double cleansing step after I changed my entire routine but my skin condition was only getting worse. Since I stopped using this cleansing oil, my skin began to clear up aside from occasional hormonal break out. Sensitive skin user should take note that this product would highly likely irritate skin and cause break out.
Very good basic oil cleanser. I recommend this for all skin types except acne prone since it does have some ingredients that could cause breakouts. But this cleanser is a cult favourite for a reason!
