I liked using this cleansing oil as a first cleanser. It's a light cleansing oil, however, you need to use a second facial cleanser to really remove the oil residue from the oil cleanser. It removes makeup, however, I find that if I use waterproof mascara and eyeliner, it takes a while to get it off. You need a couple of pumps of the cleansing oil to really remove waterproof makeup.
