What the gurus are saying

Just a small amount removes everything, making the 4.73 ounce bottle last remarkably long. Those who've used it over many years keep coming back to it as a reliable oil cleanser. The scent distinguishes this black-bottle version from the brand's newer unscented clear-bottle option.

"Klairs also has two oil cleansers, the Gentle Black Fresh Cleansing Oil and the newer one that comes in a clear bottle. This one, the Klairs Gentle Black Fresh Cleansing Oil, has scent in it, so if you like scent go for this one. It does a nice job removing everything. It's a really pretty big 4.73 ounces, and it will last me forever because just a little bit of it is enough to clean everything, so it lasts a long time."

"This is the Klairs Gentle Black Fresh Cleansing Oil, the fragrance free cleansing oil from Klairs. It's okay, I do like it. I remember when it came out many, many years ago and I reviewed it and I was like, yeah, I really like this. It's a good cleansing oil, I will happily use this until the bottle is empty. But it is actually a little thicker than my favorite cleansing oils are, and so it took me a minute to get used to this more cushy, thicker feeling oil. But it absolutely, you can see it's doing its job, it's breaking down that makeup, it's getting down there so I can wash away this full face of foundation and makeup really cleanly."
