what is YOUR facial cleasning oil preference?

Hell beauties!

Which is your favorite facial cleansing oil? Do you like the Bare Minerals or the Josie Maran? What do you like the best and least about the oils versus other methods? Inquiring minds want to know! ; )

I like DHC cleansing oil. I have have black heads and oil cleansing actually keeps those at bay. Oh and would say Bare minerals is my favorite out of the 2 you listed.

Thanks for that GREAT question! I have used and like the Tatcha facial cleansing oil but I can't help answer your question. I am very interested in the answers as I feel Tatcha is way overpriced! I may be wrong but I think the Beautipedia website did not give it a good review but did give Bare Minerals cleansing oil a good review. I'm not sure about Josie Maran. Also the Tatcha is at an introductory price and it will be going up to $48!!!!!

I have dry skin and do love using a cleansing oil - eventhough they don't contain oil, I like how they feel on my face.

I hope that you get some replies and thanks again for the great question.

I like the Neutrogena Ultra Light cleansing oil. It works really well, hasn't broken me out, doesn't dry my skin, is available locally, and costs a fraction of what I paid for high end cleansing oils for the same or better performance. The Garnier cleansing oil is also good, but is scented and the packaging leaks. For those reasons, I prefer the Neutrogena.

The Josie Maran cleansing oil was my least favorite of the many I've tried. It was thick and if I had even a drop of water on my face or hands, the oil would become a sticky, tarry mess that was very difficult to massage into my skin. I had to use it before I brushed my teeth or dry my face between brushing my teeth and washing my face. I did not repurchase that one and don't recommend it.

My favorite is Dr. Young Camellia Deep Cleansing Oil. I started using it exactly 2 yrs. ago. During those two years, I've sampled DHC and Josie Maran's. I didn't like DHC at all. Josie's was just OK. Those two experiments confirmed for me that I don't have to do anymore shopping or sampling, I'm sticking with Dr. Young. I like the ingredients in Dr. Young's more, like how it feels on my skin, like how it cleans everything without stripping, and how it rinses clean while leaving my skin soft.

I prefer Castor Oil & like The Oil Cleansing Method. Simple works better for me than the designer brand oils. Huge difference in cost, too.

I have not used Bare Minerals or Josie Maran cleansing oil. I am pleased with jojoba oil, especailly for my nails and facial massage. It does a good job removing makeup too. Also very nice if my scalp gets a bit dry.

Another DHC fan here. I like how it works, feels, and the price.

I use and love One Love Organics cleansing oil. It removes every trace of makeup without any irritation and without any burning or stinging in the eyes, and it rinses off easily.

I use the Bare Minerals brand.

I tried The Oil Cleansing Method and the castor oil was so drying. Now I have giant bottles of a bunch of oils I'm not using. I got a premade cleansing oil from Instanaturals on Amazon and that works great.

I've tried sooo many and the one I love and have been using for almost two years now is One Love Organics. Best. stuff. evah! Like SuzyQ said, it removes all traces of makeup and leaves my skin soft and supple, never tight, irritated or dry. And one of the few that is CRUELTY FREE if you care about that.

I did not like the Tatcha one as it dried my skin out. Come to find out, it contains the drying kind of alcohol, which explains why it did what it did to my skin. Who would have thought a cleansing oil could dry out your skin and make it feel tight??

Josie's was awful- left a weird taste in my mouth even though I never got any in my mouth and barely removed makeup.

I could go on and on about others that failed me, lol.

I've used oils in a double cleanse rutual off and on over the past 30 years. In the past I've used Erno Lazlo, DHC and Tatcha. Currently I am using Eclos Daily Facial Cleansing Oil. It runs $10.99, is sold at Ulta and has a lot of rave reviews. From Ulta's site: "A soap-free, nourishing cleansing oil that deep cleans without over-stripping skin, making it perfect for all skin types. Lightweight, non-comedogenic Argan, Kukui Nut, Olive, and Sesame oils capture and remove daily debris and make-up easily from the skin's surface without excess friction that can agitate skin. Conditioning oils help balance sebum production, leaving dry and aging skin more moisturized while regulating excess oiliness in oily and breakout-prone skin. Vitamin E, found naturally in antioxidant-rich Argan Oil, pairs with ultra-emollient Kukui Nut Oil to soothe, soften, and hydrate skin.

Daily Facial Cleansing Oil is part of the Eclos anti-aging skin care system. Eclos products are exclusively formulated with apple stem Cell Technology extracted from a rare Swiss Apple, clinically proven to reduce wrinkles and improve skin texture in 2 weeks. Formulated without parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances, synthetic dyes, mineral oil or petroleum."

I am a product junkie and may try The Body Shop's Camomile Silky Oil cleanser next as it also has some good reviews. Although Tatcha's Camilia cleansing oil was lovely at first, midway thhrough the bottle I started breaking out. Then I noticed in small letters "Shake Before Using" which I had not been doing. So I must have used up whatever oils were working well for my skin first and whatever was left in the bottle was causing me to break out. I've been told the bottle does not say Shake Before Using anymore. Even so, I think Tatcha's is too expensive and other brands such as Eclos and DHC as well as some I haven't tried yet are just as good and s lot less expensive. I like a cleansing oil that emulsifies with water so it rinses off easily so for that reason, although I used Erno Lazlo a lot in my younger days, I no longer care for their cleansing oil.

Thank you for the kind words, QPrincess!

You have all given great feedback! I need to investigate these products!

Some of you have mentioned how well your makeup comes off with certain products. How can you tell if all of your makeup has been removed? For me, i always wash more than once and can tell by looking at my Clarisonic brush. Thoughts?

Funny enough, I just happen to have STRONG opinion about the two options OP asked about.... Bare Minerals or Josie Maran!

I have used the Bare Minerals cleansing oil for the last year, really mostly when I wear a lot of makeup. I LOVE that stuff! Moves around on dry skin like silk and melts off the waterproof eye makeup like magic. Otherwise I use Skinn cleansers on a daily basis.

Was about to run out of the Bare Minerals cleansing oil and bought the Josie Maran cleansing oil in an OTO a few months back. Just opened it up about a week ago and OMG that stuff is horrible! Like another poster said, it turns into a sticky mess and feels like tar? Yuck. And somehow a just get a slip of it near my mouth everytime and it sends my taste buds into gag mode! YUCK again! Never thought there would be such a vast difference in cleansing oils. I rarely toss a full bottle of something but that is seriously trash can worthy. I also don't like her exfoliating powder at all, it just doesn't ever seem to emulsify or turn creamy. I've used Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant enzyme powder for 15+ years and nothing has compared to that... yet.

Interesting to see the other suggestions here, thanks OP for starting the thread!

Whenever I try out a new cleanser, I use a toner afterwards to make sure all the makeup and daily grit has been removed. If it hasn't, there will be a bit of residue on the cotton pad. I don't use cleansers that require multi stepts to get my face clean so if there was residue on my cotton pad, I no longer used the cleanser. I just don't have the time or patience to use a two step cleansing process. Plus it costs more money to do so. I like simple yet effective beauty routines.

If it was drying you needed to use less Castor oil, more olive oil. Castor oil is more for oily/combo skin.

I have been using the love oil cleanser from DHC Skincare for over 10 years, tried many other things but none have worked as well for me. It gets the waterproof mascara off best of all, as well as emulsifies great so there is no feeling of residue or stale makeup left. However, I am ever willing to try something new, so I'm going to our local Ulta and buy the Eclos another reviewer mentioned.
