Adding it to my skincare routine
complimentary from Origins I have been extremely impressed with its effectiveness.

Ive semi recently gotten into oil cleansers and came by this the other day in store. On a whim i purchased it and ill be returning it. Ive used it day and night for a few days now and i can say im not impressed. Previously i was using Anuas cleansing oil and ill probably return to that bottle today....

I LOVE Origins, and I'm a big oil cleanser fan, so I was so excited to try this product!! Overall, like it quite a bit, but the packaging is difficult for me to get behind. As someone who usually removes their makeup in the shower, having a pump on this would be sooo much easier. The cleanser itself was a little bit thick in comparison to my favorite oil cleansers, but I can get past that because of how great it worked and made my skin feel.
Great if you're into full glam!
Amazing makeup dissolver!!! I have very sentive and dry skin, i also really dislike when soaps/oil irritate my eyes so this one is my tried-and-true. I wear full glam makeup everyday for work so ill shake a few drops of this product onto a cloth (like micellar water) and remove as much makeup as i can, and its easy with this stuff. Ill then go in with Lancôme's creme wash to remove the rest. Takes off absolutely everything, even stubborn eyelash glue! Definitely have added this one to my routine.

I absolutely love this stuff. It's not like a micellar water where it leaves behind a weird texture on my face, it just leaves it feeling super clean. I still do wash my face with my cleaner, but this is a nice double cleanser.
Nah
I have liked Origins products until the last year or so. I received a full size of this "cleanser" as a gift from Ulta. It doesn't cleanse. It doesn't remove waterproof eye makeup - it only smears it into a mess. Personally I feel one shouldn't have to use 2 "cleansers". Regular Checks and Balances frothy face wash does an infinitely better job at taking off all of your makeup and leaving your skin fresh. If you want a better makeup remover with an oily texture, try First Aid Beauty 2-in-1 cleansing oil.
Love this product!
I recently received this product as a gift and love it! It works well in a double-cleansing routine and leaves my face soft.
