Lots of people are appalled at the idea of cleansing your face with oil. Afterall, you probably want to remove the oil from your face, not add on to it! This cleanser is an oil cleanser, but it does not leave your face feeling oily like what everybody thinks. You massage it on, and later emulsify it with water. Your skin has no trace of the oil afterthat.



One thing i LOVE about this cleanser is that it really removes waterproof makeup effortlessly and thoroughly. I cannot find a cleanser as good as this for removing my waterproof mascara. All the other cream based products that claim to remove waterproof makeup do not work for me, and often, i have to tug at my eyelashes(something you should NEVER do) with my cream makeup remover before i can actually get the mascara off. Big no-no. This cleanser enables me to take off my makeup easily.



It doesn't have a strong smell either and when washed off your skin is definitely not left dry and parched. Leaves skin comfortably hydrated.




You have to understand that on most Shu Uemura products, they do not come with english descriptions which can be a bit of a bother at times. So it's best that you really know which product is for what and clarify at the counter because you won't be able to find instructions on the bottle, unless you are Japanese. Some of their products can have mis-leading names too, like a toner would be called a lotion so it's easy to get confused.




All the shu Uemura products i've come across have never disappointed me and i think they are specially formulated for Asian skin. They are not too rich and really improve my skin's texture and smoothness.


150ml goes for USD $32 and 450 ml goes for $72. I recommend you get a good sized one if you are hardcore waterproof makeup user.
