If you're not into total raving reviews (or really long titles, oopsies) don't bother reading this one. I simply adore The Body Shop Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil. I picked this up because I'm coming to the end of my Clinique Foaming Facial Cleanser, that is also very good at removing any and all makeup. This time I decided to go for something a dash cheaper, though not that much cheaper in reality, and go with Amelia Liana's recommendation. The lady who sold it to me told me it was like 'acid for your face...but like good acid' which was actually really accurate. This melts all the makeup off your face the second it begins to be massaged into your skin.
It feels a bit weird to be using an oil cleanser for the first time, as it legitimately feels as though you are rubbing cooking oil into your face. The smell does a lot to combat how uncomfortable the texture made me feel, as it smells really nice and fresh (I'm assuming it smells like camomile but I wouldn't know for sure). This helped me convince myself that it was an okay product to be applying to my skin and now I'm an old hack at it, I actually enjoy the feeling. I was worried that this might break me out, as I am with all new skincare. Though I have been going through a bit of a rough skin period, this cleanser has nothing to do with it. I had bad skin before and it is starting to clear up with the help of some other products, all while using this. It also doesn't sting my eyes, which is unusual with any product as my eyes are hella sensitive.
The only problem I could spot with this is how quickly it will be used up. I use two pumps on an average day and three on a more intense makeup day. Because of this, I would say that the Clinique makeup remover would probably end up cheaper because there is not more than a $10 price difference but you would use at least twice the amount of the Body Shop Cleansing Oil. That doesn't really bother me that much because the product works so amazingly well. Also I would watch out when taking this traveling, just because the oily consistency has a tendency to leak ever so slightly if it is tossed around. A zip lock bag would fix this issue, as not enough product is lost to make a fuss over, there is only a small chance it will leak at all. Just something to keep in mind.
All in all, if you're looking for a new all in one makeup remover, I highly suggest giving this baby a try.
Lots of Love,
Shannon
