Pros:
• Very lightweight, easy to wash off, and doesn't leave my skin feeling tight or dry
• Doesn’t seem to irritate my skin even though it contains fragrance (the fragrance is pretty mild and not overpowering)
Cons:
• Over the past couple of days, I’ve noticed a few closed comedones appear on my cheeks, and I feel like the cleansing oil might be causing this issue since it’s the only new product I’ve introduced into my routine. I also follow up with a water-based cleanser to ensure that my skin is cleansed thoroughly.
• Has fragrance (not ideal for people with very sensitive skin)
• Has corn oil, isopropyl myristate, and ethylhexyl palmitate, which are all a bit higher on the comedogenic scale (I feel like they might be clogging my pores, but I'm not 100% sure)
NOTE: I’ll give an update next week if my skin gets worse or better.
