The squalene in olive oil makes it a great emollient. Emollients help soothe and soften your skin by trapping moisture in. This makes olive oil a great skin moisturizer.
Studies show olive oil to have antibacterial and antifungal properties in low concentrations. Another study found olive oil irritated sensitive oily skin. We always recommend speaking with a professional about using this ingredient in your routine.

Sunflowers are rich in vitamin E.

Vitamin E also helps keep your natural skin lipids healthy. Your lipid skin barrier naturally consists of lipids, ceramides, and fatty acids. Vitamin E offers extra protection for your skin’s lipid barrier, keeping your skin healthy and nourished.
Another benefit is a bit of UV protection. Vitamin E helps reduce the damage caused by UVB rays. (It should not replace your sunscreen). Combining it with Vitamin C can decrease sunburned cells and hyperpigmentation after UV exposure.
You might have noticed Vitamin E + C often paired together. This is because it is great at stabilizing Vitamin C. Using the two together helps increase the effectiveness of both ingredients.
There are often claims that Vitamin E can reduce/prevent scarring, but these claims haven't been confirmed by scientific research.

This makes my skin feel nice after using. It doesn't feel stripped or irritated. It gets the sebaceous filaments out of my nose area. However, it does take some work. I don't really wear makeup so I only use this on a nightly basis to get my sunscreen off.

I use it as the first step of my night routine to take off my makeup and sunscreen. I have to rub it for a while to take off my mascara so if you use waterproof mascara you would have to rub it even longer.
It's a little hard to spread compared to oil cleansers I used before (Softymo and Shu Uemura) so I use 2 full pumps of product every time, it's lasting very long even though I use it every night.

Still isn't perfect for me, but the best so far
I think I'll never find a perfect cleansing oil for me, because my skin's reaction to oils is always unstable as it's really sensitive to oily textures being applied. But I have to remove my SPF, so there's no choice... I've tried 5 decent cleansing oils, and that's the most tolerable one, even though it still triggers my fungal acne randomly. Any cleansing oil will, I guess. But it also soothes my skin a little and my blackheads are long gone, so as for now I'm sticking to it
