My favorite oil cleanser
On days when I wear makeup (unfortunately this is most days) I always use an oil cleanser as the first step in my skin cleansing routine. Origins is the best all-around oil cleanser I have found so far and I have tried a few. This is better than the Shu Uemura oil cleansers because it does not contain the pore clogging ingredient (isopropyl myristate) listed high in their oil cleansers. This is also better than the Dermalogica oil cleanser in my opinion because it is basically the same thing, for less money. You get an extra ounce and a half of Origins for $11 less than the Dermalogica PreCleanse. Comparisons aside, the Origins Clean Energy is a wonderful way to remove all your makeup in a really gentle way. This oil melts makeup in seconds. It is even safe to use on your eyes. You won't experience any stinging or irritation from this at all. This rinses clean, leaving no residue on your face, yet your skin is in no way tight or dry after using. The smell is light and slightly herbal, much like Dermalogica's PreCleanse. My ONLY gripe with this is the packaging. The bottle is beautiful and I love that I can see at any given time how much product I have left, but it does not come with a pump or a squirt cap to dispense the oil. The cap is a screw off so you have to dump the oil out into your hand. Considering that this is a slippery oil, it can make a big mess. Luckily, Origins sells pumps for this at their stores. You may also be able to get a pump at an Origins counter. The pumps are just $3, but this brings the total cost of the cleanser to $27 since the pump really is a must. The pump can be reused when you purchase your next bottle though so at least it is only a one-time purchase. I hope Origins changes the packaging for the sake of new customers. Other than the packaging faux pas, this cleansing oil is perfect and necessary for those of us who want a makeup-free face without breaking the bank. — 10 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

What a suprise!
Okay, obviously, I thought a cleansing oil was going to make me break out with the intensity of Krakatoa. Boy, was I wrong. This oil smells very earthy and citrusy, and makes washing your face a joy. You first rub the oil all over your face (!) and then wash it with warm water then rinse. Sounds crazy, right? But the end result is a soft, clean face void of all traces of makeup--even waterproof mascara or gel eyeliner. No breakouts, and it doesn't make your face oily at all, as one might think. It's totally worth the money because you can skip all makeup removers, and it lasts forever. Origins is a wonderful company with great ethics, making this a flawless cleanser which you can feel good buying. My only beef is that you must be careful when pouring it out, because it lacks a stopper of any sort. — 4 years, 5 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 5 people said helpful

Perfection.
I got turned onto oil cleansers after testing DHC's cleansing oil...but was looking for something with more of a clean feeling and less of a "straight olive oil" feel (natural?)...well this was perfect! The oil smells amazing and the citrus scent really does "energize you" ..great after work pick up beteween work and play :) Besides that...the clean feeling and the efficiency of gentle make up removal (even loads of mascara and waterproof eyeliner) is amazing. yes, it does smear the make up around your face when you are rubbing it off...but after a quick rinse, your skin is left beautiful and clean. I feel like this product also brightened my skin....but maybe that's because i might not have been getting all of my eye makeup off before. This is gentle even if it goes in your eyes (though watch out contact wearers). The only con I have is that I dont know that I love the milky white substance that forms when it touches water and you have to be careful when pouring from bottle because you dont want to get water in bottle. Though the bottle is very cute, it's not very convenient that it doesn't have a pump...if it did water couldn't get in. (also, pouring kind of wastes it). — 3 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
