Too much influence!!! I confess I've been influenced a lot about this product on social networks. It was sold to me as being very good for sensitive skin and skin with acne, that it would make our blackheads go away and deep clean our ports and sebaceous filaments, I tested many cleansing oils and almost all of them gave me breakouts.
It's said that if you cleanse well, emulsify correctly and follow up with a cleansing gel or foam, there's no risk of getting new acne pimples. However, it's much more complicated than that, and our lipid barrier has a more than complicated way of working. Even if a product is advertised as "non-comedogenic", that doesn't mean you're not going to have a reaction, especially with a product like a cleansing oil, which tends to be quite heavy. This one may be light, but it disrupts the lipid barrier like nothing I've ever seen, and I strongly advise against it.
Not to mention the fact that this cleansing oil is very irritating for me, it's certainly easy to emulsify and rinse off, but there's a very strong perfume smell and afterwards I've never seen my skin so irritated with dozens of closed whiteheads in the morning. I then considered micellar waters and my skin has never been as healthy as it is with cleansing oils.
Don't forget that every skin is different and that this product may very well suit you, I always recommend testing it and making up your own mind, this is mine knowing that I have extremely sensitive and very acne-prone skin, don't be influenced and choose the products that suit your skin.
Thats surprising. Ive only heard good things about this. Good to know thank you!

I found that this product broke me out and gave me closed comodones. I used it correctly it just didn't like my oily combination skin :/ . I would def not recmmend to anyone with acne prone skin. I found that using micellar water and a cleanser worked way better for me, i only use the centella oil once a week on my t zone and chin to unclog any pores that the micellar water didn't manage.
I HAD THE SAME reaction to this cleansing oil its such a shame😭

dried my skin
I tried 2 products from this line, and they stripped my skin. I totaly ruined it and took me 3 month before I realized its from hydro boost neutrogena. I had dry patches on my cheeks, my texture worsned and I thought its because of my maturing and changing skin.

Super Nice...
This is a good cleanser as a 2nd step in double cleansing. I use it in the evenings to ensure all my makeup is removed. It does not strip my skin and doesn't irritate it either. There are others I prefer, but this is one of my favorites from the drugstore.
