Unsure about this product

Originally posted on ESPA

No, I don't recommend this

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First time trying this cleansing oil and I I’m still unsure as to if it’s benefitted my skin. It feels lovely on the skin when applying but does not foam up well when water is added as specified to do, so I’m unsure if it’s actually taken away the dirt on my skin accumulated through the day.

Feels luxurious on my skin. Melts away makeup easily. My skin feels instantly soft and it’s just an absolute joy to use on my face. I follow with the purifying micellar cleanser. Would highly recommend

A really lovely facial oil that when you mix with water becomes a milky texture, great scent. A premium product.

Really nice cleansing oil - not greasy at all

Originally posted on ESPA

I was worried that this would be a greasy cleansing oil but having used it I really love it! Just 1 or 2 pumps is plenty into the hand and then massage onto the face. Rinses off really easily with warm water and makes my skin feel great. Doesn't leave any residue. I would recommend this cleansing oil.

New product for me!

Originally posted on ESPA

I’ve been using this a week now and what a difference, it’s a new product for me, and my skin loves it! Using it as a daily cleanser and it’s so soft and within a few days could see a difference with clear blemishes and completely removing milia pimples! I use this alongside milk cleanser, optimal pro cleanser and hydrating tonic. Will defiantly repurchase

Wow

Originally posted on ESPA

I really mean it, wow! I’m not one for skin care really, I bought this on a whim. But having just used it for the first time, my skin just feels healthier, it’s so much cleaner and brighter. If that’s on one use, I can’t wait to try it again…

Easy to use

Originally posted on ESPA

I have used foam cleansers before and now this new oil cleanser. I do like them all but i find this oil one to be easier to use. It doesnt run down my face or end up on the sleeves of my clothes. I quickly noticed my pores looked less dirty. My skin looked the perfect shine after. My face feels very soft, all day. I would get this product again and would recommend it for those who dont like runny cleansers.
