I've struggled with fungal acne for the longest time and used to ran away from cleasing oils, but decided to give this one a try and has been working beautifully on my skin. It doesn't have many potential FA triggers on it, plus the main ingredient is squalane. Definitely a good option for FA sufferers who are looking to incorporate cleasing oils in their routines.

Been using this for a couple years now - I find it to be a light non-drying cleanser.

Would recommend for people with dry/sensitive skin!

a thicker oil cleanser, i dont think its amazing for acne or clog-prone skin. it does get rid of a full face of makeup without much work, not a bad budget option if breakouts aren't an issue.

works well, not the best for my skin but it does the job of taking the makeup off for the price
