I received a large sample at the Lunasol counter on July 25, 2023, and liked it so much I decided to buy the full product. Its makeup removal was neither good nor bad. I think it might be better to have a spot remover for glittery eyeshadows. The finish is highly moisturizing and leaves my skin feeling plump. The balm and oil give it a thick consistency, reducing friction. I feel like this cleanser removes blackheads more effectively than other cleansers. I'm not sure if it's due to the skincare products I'm using, but my nose pores have become noticeably cleaner! I hope it also clears up the blackheads on my chin, which I've been bothered by. I absolutely love the salon-like scent. I really like this cleanser and would like to repurchase it, but the price is a bit of a problem... I might repurchase it if I can't find another cleanser I like. Added below: October 31, 2025: Rating increased from 5 stars to 7 stars. I'm currently subscribing to this product. I think I've already purchased over 10 bottles. I've tried several other cleansers, but this one was the only one that removed my makeup (not too light, not too heavy, and my mascara was waterproof), left my skin feeling smooth after use, was frictionless, and cleaned my pores. After continued use, my clogged pores and blackheads were also cleared, and I think it's the perfect fit for my skin and lifestyle. It's expensive, but I'll definitely buy it again. LOL
It doesn't have very high reviews, but I absolutely love it! It combines the moisturizing feel of a balm with the cleansing power of an oil. I usually use a makeup remover to remove mascara and tint beforehand, but it also works well on its own for light makeup. It can even remove some mascara, so the cleansing power is moderate. The texture is thick for an oil, so it doesn't feel rubbing, and the aromatic scent is soothing, so it's just so easy to use.
This cleansing oil has an organic scent. I thought it smelled nice. It removed waterproof mascara with ease. It left my skin feeling refreshed without drying it out, and I found it very comfortable to use. It's a cleanser I'll want to use again.
I was struggling with cleansing problems and tried many different products, but the ones I used were too strong, which caused my skin irritation and made me feel depressed. However, when I tried a sample of this Lunasol cleanser, my skin irritation improved. I finally found a cleanser that suits my skin, and I'm using a variety of Lunasol products. It may feel a little sticky after washing, but it becomes smooth after a while. The moisturizing power is also impeccable.
I received a sample when I purchased eyeshadow (^^) I was wondering if it was a balm oil, but the texture is the same as an oil cleanser. It did remove most of my makeup well. Some waterproof mascara seemed to come off, while others didn't. After washing, my face felt quite oily. I always like to double cleanse my face, so honestly, I don't mind the feeling after washing, but it's been a while since I've had such an oily feeling, so I'm not a fan.
