What the gurus are saying

Gurus sharply disagree on value. One praises its elegant formulation, thorough cleansing power, and clean rinse without residue or irritation, calling it worth the premium price. The other questions whether the higher cost justifies performance over standard cleansing oils, viewing the category as functionally interchangeable. The split hinges on whether brand prestige and scent merit the price premium.

"I've been loving the Shiseido Cleansing Oil. It is a beautiful, elegant oil, definitely worth the splurge. It really cleanses everything, helps to remove all the layers of sunscreen I've applied during the day, my waterproof mascara and everything without stripping the skin. It's a great first step of double cleansing. If you're just looking for a good cleanser or cleansing oil in particular but worried about it either not working well, removing or leaving residue on your skin or breaking out, this one is one that you don't have to worry about. It literally rinses out beautifully. It can be used as a standalone cleanser or if you double cleanse, I highly recommend it. It's just such a great product and I think it's a popular one in Japan for a reason. It contains botanical oils and green tea extract to support your skin barrier and effectively cleanse at the same time."

"This Shiseido cleansing oil, and I was like, cleansing oils all pretty much work the same. Like, is it really that advantageous to have a more expensive scented one? No."
