What the gurus are saying

This cleanser divides the experts. Lab Muffin Beauty Science found it easy to recommend, though the product appears to have been discontinued and may be hard to track down. Dr. Vanita Rattan felt it fell short of her standards. With takes this thin and split, there is not much solid ground to stand on just yet if you are deciding whether to try it.

"It's a simple hydrating cleansing oil and actually they do really well on the mycel gel wash so this one wasn't really up to standard. It's very cheap, so £5 for 125ml. The second ingredient here is isopropyl palmitate which is four out of five on the comedogenic scale, and then isopropyl myristate is five out of five."

"The one that was easiest to find was the simple kind to skin cleansing oil but unfortunately it looks like it's been discontinued."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Retinoids

Retinoids are among the best studied ingredients in dermatology, with solid evidence for acne and for the fine lines and rough texture that come from sun exposure. Dryness and flaking in the first few weeks are common and usually settle.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
