What the gurus are saying

Reviewers split on these emulsifiers and their ability to dissolve. Those who approved the ingredient list found it strong on makeup- and sunscreen-dissolving power and noted that lavender oil poses no issue since rinsing happens before the next cleanser. Others expressed concern that the emulsifiers may not fully dissolve, potentially leaving a film or residue on skin.

"I think it's interesting because on the website it's like this is a cleanser makeup remover all-in-one but I'm looking at these ingredients and I'm like these emulsifiers they're using I don't think they're going to, it's going to leave a film on your skin. I would still recommend a second cleanse. Almost all oil-based cleansers I would say you're better off using it as a first cleanse with a water-based cleanser second cleanse."

"I actually really like the ingredient list on the Mario Badescu Cleansing Oil. It has a lot of good ingredients that work well to dissolve any makeup, sunscreen, or dirt on the face before you go in with your cleanser. It does have lavender essential oil, but because it's a cleansing product you rinse off before going in with your cleanser, I really don't think it's an issue. [...] I'm probably going to purchase this product."
