What the gurus are saying

This oil cleanser splits the experts. Dermatologists who tested it praise its lightweight texture and gentle fragrance, and find it excellent for removing eye makeup and mascara without heaviness. However, one dermatologist raises a concern that it may worsen pigmentation, particularly for people with deeper skin tones, so anyone prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation may want to patch-test first. One note if you live somewhere cold: it thickens in cooler temperatures, so it may feel less smooth to apply.

"For me, this is an absolute no. A product like this is going to lead to more pigmentation, which is what's going to happen for a large percentage of our community."

"The SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil is lightweight enough to not suffocate me during summer, yet manages to make my face feel clean despite several layers of sebum and sunscreen mixed."

"This is the oil cleanser I'm currently using from Skin1004, the Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil. I've rather been enjoying this. It is lightweight and it does have a bit of an aroma to it, which is not so bad. I find it to be a superior way to remove eye makeup, um mascara, all that stuff with an oil as opposed to a typical cleanser."

"I got their light cleansing oil and it's really nice. It does have fragrance, kind of has a nice little botanic subtle aroma, not heavy or headache inducing, doesn't radiate up into your sinuses. This light scent, very light textured oil in comparison to some of the other cleansing oils. I really like that."

"Such a good cleansing oil when it's cold it actually uses a little more chunky so just keep that in mind if you live in a cold environment. It's normally $20 to $21, it's on sale for $15 to $10. For Prime day you can actually bundle it for additional discounts so it comes out to like $11 to $12 if you use coupons."
