Take the Day Off | Clinique Cleansing Oil

Fighting oil with oil becoming a main topic of my conversations with my friends. After years of using baby oil and as my make up remover (which sometimes clog my pores), I finally found my Holy Grail cleansing oil and I stick to this for about 5 years now.


I've been introduced to this baby in 2010 when I was looking for a good make up remover that can take off my waterproof mascara effortlessly. I find it perfect as it come in a see through purple bottle (easy for me to see how much product left) and the best part is, it has pumps. Yes, it has pumps!
I normally use 1-2 pumps depending on how thick my makeup is. Most of the time I only use 1 pump as my daily makeup is quite light and easy to remove. Those 2 pumps day usually when I put my waterproof mascara on.
This cleansing oil contains no alcohol, oil-free, sulfates-free and fragrance free which is great and suitable for those who have sensitive, oily and acne-prone skin just like mine. The texture of this oil cleanser is quite runny, not too thick and easily melt my make up. With the fact that it is an 'oil cleanser', it does not absorb into my skin, so I do not have to worry about pore clogging and etc.
How I use it? I usually take about 1 pump (light makeup) on my palm and massage it through my face starting from the eyes area. Yes, you read it. I start at my eyes area first. This all in one cleanser can be used to remove your eye makeup too. So far I do not have any irritation with this product and it does not sting my eyes too. With just couple of seconds, the makeup melted and took off. Then I rinse with water (if I'm not lazy, I'll be using warm water) and the oil on my face immediately turns into an emulsion. My very first experience with this I used facial cloth or facial cotton after the rinse, just to make sure there was no residue left. My skin left with feeling clean and not stripped (due to no alcohol in the product, I believe). But now I straight away continue with my usual facial cleanser for double cleansing. I always do this since the very beginning as I like it that way.
This product can do no wrong in my opinion, it is an amazing makeup remover, gentle on skin, effective and perfect for oily and acne-prone skin. I have not experienced any breakouts so far, This product also comes in balm form which is formulated specially for dry skin.
This is sold at Clinique counters, Clinique official online shopping website and Sephora, 200ml pumped bottle for RM116.
