This is THICCCC. Almost damaging to remove from dry skin.

I got this to try as an alternative make up remover instead of Ponds Cold Cream or Vaseline, and I thought I would be able to put a pump top lid on it - NOPE. Too thick to suck up the straw.

I genuinely don't know what the best use for this product is.
It works at dissolving makeup and sunscreen - but its a PITA to clean off. Show more

it works really well for me it just sucks to take off the skin, since it’s so thick you have to pull and tuck at the skin to get it fully off which just gets annoying

A popular Japanese unscented cleansing oil that has excellent value. Perfect for beginners and those who use light make-up, or just a sunscreen during the day. Since it's cheap, you can use it deliberately without thinking too much about it.

It does such a great job as getting rid of whiteheads even from the first use after rubbing it on dry face for 60 seconds and rise it with warm water.
The only problem is that it has a bunch of pore clogging ingredients that might trigger acne, but using it once every time i get whiteheads on my nose had been working perfectly fine for me.
Overall, i don’t like double cleansing at all and i find Show more
