This cleanser works great for removing stubborn makeup. The instructions for use are very easy. It is directed to apply with your hands, but it can be applied with cotton rounds as well. I prefer using cotton rounds when removing my eye makeup. I have to make sure to give it a good rinse afterward and follow with another cleanser to remove the excess oil. If I don't, the oil can make my eyes feel grimy. Other than that, it does an excellent job of gently cleansing my face. I, personally, haven't experienced any sort of reaction to it, but I've included pictures of the listed ingredients for reference. Cica tree is known for its soothing and healing properties, so it's a good base ingredient for a skin cleanser. I would also love to try Neogen's Cica Tree cleansing foam as my follow-up cleanser. As it stands, this cleansing oil works very well for its intended purpose. It's certainly been a great addition to my skin care routine.
