The pros are that it's really gentle and it goes away immediately with water, so no residue. I have reactive skin, and it hasn't affected me in any negative way. I have had some redness but I don't think it's from the product, but because I was too rough when using it a first. Once I stopped it went away.
It has a very light smell, like olive oil, which is unsurprising because it's the main oil. I don't think it goes away, but again, I'm sensitive to smells. Still, it doesn't annoy me much (I love olive oil).
It does not sting my eyes either, nor makes them blurry. It didn't help with sebaceous filaments, but it did made my nose softer.
The cons are that it's not good at removing my (admittedly) very stubborn makeup.
For reference, I use the TONYMOLY Shocking lip tint in red, which those who have heard of it or used it will know that it's a very long-lasting lip tip that lasts through most meals unless, of course, it's a very oily food. The only time it was removed almost completely is when I went to an italian restaurant, in which I ordered very buttery food, full of olive oil, and even then some color was left. I use it because I've heard some mukbangers use it as well.
I haven't been able to remove this tint with this oil. I have tried using some makeup removing wipes, then this oil at least 2-3 times on the lips to take it away, but it does not work to remove it fully and some color is left. I just sleep on it and by the time I wakeup, the redness from the tint is way less noticeable.
I suspect my saliva is better at removing this tint than this cleansing oil, which I find interesting.
If you don't own waterproof makeup, you have oily, combo skin or you tend to sweat a lot throughout the day, I do recommend it. Otherwise, it's not the best. Which I don't blame it for, it just does not work for me.
