Safe to say the review of the face shop cleaning oil from the Rice water bright range is on it's way to be a good one. The face shop foaming face wash is what I have majorly used with the set's cleansing oil and the I am reviewing accordingly. So let's start with the Face Shop cleansing oil review
Price :
The Face Shop has two sizes of the Cleansing oil in India. The 55 ml a travel-friendly size for 549 INR, and a 150 ml pack for 1349 INR.
Product :
A very mildly sweet-smelling transparent oil that gives the perfect slip for melting off makeup. I have the cleansing oil in the 150 ml bottle, and it comes in pump packaging, which is such a lifesaver because it helps dispense the product and simplifies the process of getting more product out with oily hands. The oil has a very light feel, spreads easily on the face and provides enough slip to get your makeup off. The Face Shop cleansing oil, as mentioned, has a very mild fragrance, but I have noticed the fragrance doesn't last till the last drop of the product.
My Experience :
I can start by saying that The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Light Cleansing Oil has been a constant on my shelves. I have used multiple cleansing oils, but I come back to The Face Shop cleansing oil.
I will first share how I use it for double cleansing on a regular day and then share the cleansing oil's performance with various degrees of makeup.
So for a regular day, it is just skincare and sunscreen, as I use the Face Shop cleansing oil at night to get the day off of my face. The cleansing oil, around 2 pumps of the product, melts into the face and emulsifies all the sunscreen, tinted or plain, with my skincare. Once I wash off the emulsification, I am left with light oil on my face, but that anyway needs to be cleansed off with a face wash. A mild face wash works quite well in this case.
Light or heavy makeup is different in two aspects: first, I need around 4 pumps to emulsify all the makeup and deeply clean the skin; second, I need to massage the Face Shop light cleansing oil for about a minute. Very lightly, though. Here I always prefer using the foaming face wash from the Face Shop rice water bright range, as I have observed that it works the best.
In both cases, my skin is left feeling absolutely clean, without any breakouts later and not stripped of all my natural oils.
