Well, it is gentle, but I didn't like the experience. Usually, my cleansing balms and oils emulsify as soon as I start adding water on my face, and wash off nicely. However, this one somehow doesn't... Even after double cleansing. Perhaps a stronger second cleanser would help, but my skin only tolerates milky washes/cleansers. I would have given it three stars, but the strong, off-putting smell just adds to the 'meh' effect.

This is an amazing oil cleanser. I have combination to oily skin and it is the only oil cleanser that has not caused me to break out when I double cleanse. It is also gently exfoliates my skin, making sure that all the dirt and sunscreen that built-up throughout the day will be washed off.
