Allergic reaction and more acne
I was recommended to double cleanse with an oil cleanser by my aesthetician for getting rid of sebaceous filaments and texture on my chin. Instead, this cleanser, made my entire jaw/chin area break out severely. I’m allergic to something in the product and I wish I knew what. My face would get sort of hot and itchy after using it.

Just not for me
this was my first time trying out an oil cleaner and I used it for about a week before deciding to call it quits. it did a great job of removing makeup BUT it did inflame my acne prone areas and the pimples felt deeper than my usual occasional breakouts.

Feels luxe
I've been using this for a few weeks mostly at night and am enjoying it so far. Some nights it feels very luxe to be massaging oil into my skin, it's a nice little treat. Works well to remove makeup too before I use my other cleanser

Best oil cleanser
Didn’t clog up my pores. I’m usually an acne prone skin person so I’ll immediately get pimple if something doesn’t sit right it’s my face right.

Effective
This is an effective product, I have two gripes: the consistency is a tad thin. There is another pre-cleanse I use that's thick and milky, and it really helps remove all the gunky sunscreen in 1 go. The Pre-Gleanse is effective too, but it doesn't perform as well and I find that I need to go in a second time with the Pre-Gleanse before Gleansing. The other gripe is that I can't adjust the nozzle position to face forward so it looks uniform next to the Gleanser bottle (please see attached photo). I hope that Dr. Sam Ellis can understand this drives OCD folk like me a lil crazy!

Very effective and gentle.
For reference I have combination skin that is very sensitive and acne prone. This cleansing oil is just the right viscosity and dissolves makeup and sunscreen easily. Rinces off more clean than any oil balm type cleanser I've tried so far. My skin is left soft, smooth but not feeling stripped. I would highly recommend this product. **I really appreciate the locking mechanism and its ease of use. *I hope to see a travel size in the near future.

Light-As-Air Oil
The consistency of this Pre-Gleanse is lighter than other oil cleansers. This easily breaks down my layers of sunscreen and occasionally tinted sunscreen. I can't speak for removing a full face of makeup but for sunscreen, this is fantastic. It doesn't leave my skin oily. I do follow with a regular foaming cleanser.

New favorite oil cleanser
I just finished my first bottle of the oil cleanser and switched back to my previous oil cleanser that I had on hand and I am so ready to be done with that one and get back to the prequel oil cleanser! One pump is all you need for your face and neck and it washes away sunscreen and grime from the day so nicely. I have even forgotten to do a second cleanse after this and had no issues with feeling oily or not fully clean. Love this oil cleanser!

Great product in a well designed package
Does a great job gently melting away makeup, sunscreen, and dirt when used as directed. I have combo dry/oily sensitive skin and experience occasional breakouts - this product doesn't irritate my skin, dry me out, or break me out. I use this every night and one bottle lasted almost 5 months. Fantastic packaging. Most pump bottles end up leaving a lot of product in the bottom, but this pump worked until the very last drop. No product was wasted and I didn't have to unscrew the top to get the last of the product out.

Dont purchase
Wanted to like this product so bad. Stay far away, clogged my pores and created cystic acne that I’m now trying to reverse. Influencers sold me on the product but it is not a fit for everyone—I have dry skin and usually don’t have an issue with oil products. Once I stopped using this, I didn’t see additional clogged pores which is how I realized this cleanser was the cause
