    Okay, but not great

    It's not horrible, but there are definitely better Oil Cleansers to remove makeup. I switched to a tubing mascara so I don't have to worry about mascara anymore. However, this cleanser will not take off regular mascara. I would not not repurchase.

    Helping the earth.

    I have used Makeup wipes for years. They work great, but they’re terrible for the environment. But my foaming cleanser wasn’t getting all the makeup off. This really dissolves the makeup.

    Pre cleanse oil

    I really like this face oil as a first cleanse in my double cleanse at night. The only thing was the cover was not tightly closed and I did a pickup order and didn't really look at the items and almost half of the oil leaked out.

    Excellent oil cleanser

    I LOVE pre-gleanse. It’s unlike any other oil cleanser I’ve tried and I’ve used La Mer, Caudalie, Kiehls…the list goes on. First, it truly makes the skin softer. Second it uses rice bran oil and not useless corn oil as the main ingredient. It’s fragrance free. I pair it with the glycolic gleanser. Interested in trying the SA gleanser but sometimes my skin doesn’t like SA so I’m holding off on that for now.

    Great cleanser

    Decided to try this and love! I have mature skin so an oil cleanser is exactly what I need. When I rinse it off leaves my skin clean but not stripped. Highly recommend

    Pre Gleanse

    I have many Prequel products that I use. I ran out of my oil cleaner, so I decided to give this one a try. Just to preface, I am 61 year old woman who uses a vitamin C product in the morning and a retinol at night. My skin can feel dry at times. The oil cleanser is wonderful on the skin, and rinses off beautifully; I follow up with the Gleanser. My skin doesn’t feel dry or tight, and leaves my skin soft and smooth. I have no issues with breakouts. I recommend this and their other products all the time to family and friends.

    Best pre-cleasing oil I've used so far.

    I have tried a lot of makeup removers, oil cleansers, etc and this so far tops them all. It even helps with the stubborn mascara that I tend to not wear on account of how difficult it is to remove.

    Sorry

    Uhg eh no. No no. I was hoping to really like this since I love the Gleanser. I’m usually a makeup remover BALM person, so that could be part of the issue here, but I really don’t like this. It stinks like oil. Well, obviously, it’s oil but the smell is just hard to get past. It also just feels like I went into the kitchen and put cooking oil on my hands and rubbed it onto my face. It’s thin and I don’t find it a pleasant experience rubbing it around. It removes makeup and does wash away clean but I don’t think I can even finish this.

    Might clog your sink drain.

    It worked okay. I used it as the first step to my double cleansing routine to help with the removal of sunscreen/makeup. I have oily skin, and it didn't cause any breakouts like the ones reported by other users, but it may contribute to your sink drain clogging. I won't be repurchasing.

    does the job

    Pleasant effective gentle cleanser. I appreciate that it has no scent. Skin feels clean and not dry after using. Using it as a "precleanse" on dirty makeup brushes has also been a game changer. Would definitely buy again.
