I realize a lot of people are just catching on, but using a cleansing oil has been around for ages. I'll admit that for a few years when everyone was hyped up on being oil-free a lot of companies who had made oil cleansers took them away. Today there are endless choices. A lot of the big cosmetic companies have rushed oil cleansers back into their collections, but some of them are just marked up products which include a few exotic oils listed way down on the ingredient list behind mineral oil.

I particularly like Philosophy's Purity Oil Cleanser (first oil in the ingredient list is olive oil) and DHC's Deep Cleansing Oil (olive oil).

Could you please tell me a little more about DHC's? What's different about using it compared to using EVOO out of my kitchen cabinet?

I am not a scientist, but the DHC cleansing oil is definitely lighter than the stuff I pour on my salad and use for cooking. Like the Purity Oil it rinses off with warm water whereas cooking olive oil does not. Here's the ingredient list for the cleanser:olea europaea (olive) fruit oil, caprylic/capric triglyceride, sorbeth-30 tetraoleate, pentylene glycol, phenoxyethanol, tocopherol, stearyl glycyrrhetinate, rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) leaf oil.

DHC makes an olive oil for cooking use and it's 100% olive oil.

Thanks. Maybe I'll try a mini size bottle and see if I like it better than what I'm currently using.

Thank you all so much. justbee, thank you especially for the link. I will read it more carefully after a good night's sleep. I actually have a bottle of castor oil that I have been using for a couple weeks. I must have bought it after seeing threads about OCM here previously. Apparently, I should be mixing it with another oil, but I haven't noticed more dryness using it by itself. After rinsing, I have been applying my serums and then moisturizer. Do any of you just use an oil for moisturizing after cleansing?

I use the DHC cleansing oil and love it.

After cleansing, I use Origins Plantscription serum and recently added Origins face oil for use after the serum and before the moisturizer. I am trying that and liking it. It contains a variety of oils: "raspberry seed oil, argan oil, tamanu oil, and evening primrose." I wonder if Jojoba oil would work just as well?

Just looked at the label on my bottle--it's jojoba oil, not castor! That may explain why I haven't been experiencing more dryness. I'm wondering if I even need the castor oil.

I also just remembered that I have a bottle of Josie's Argan Oil cleanser, which I used a few times and wasn't crazy about it. I think I'll give it another chance and see what I think before investing in any others at this point. I seem to recall that my issue with it was that it burned my eyes. I will try just avoiding that area.
